For going on 20 years now, the National Parks Traveler has covered both the expected, and the unexpected, stories involving national parks and protected places.

We've covered the fallout of government shutdowns, told you about climate-change impacts to the parks, explained controversies over feral horses, and introduced you to the Sinagua — The People Without Water.

Looking ahead, we'll bring you an article about humpback whales and their "bubble nets" at Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska, tell you about the man-eating lions at Kruger National Park in South Africa, visit Historic Jamestowne, and look into the controversy over cruise ships at Acadia National Park.

Your support enables the Traveler to commission the writers to deliver the expected and unexpected throughout the year. It also goes towards the IT crew that helps us not just keep the site online but also update it when necessary. And it makes it possible to bring you a podcast every week of the year ... since February 2019.

Please, help ensure this coverage continues with a donation.
