The top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee wants the federal government’s watchdog to examine the National Park Service’s work on climate change and its protection of the nation’s cultural resources.
Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), the panel’s ranking member, made the request this week in a letter to the Government Accountability Office.
He described NPS as “the lead federal agency charged with preserving the country’s diverse cultural heritage.“

“It is vital that NPS’s climate change efforts model cultural resource vulnerability assessments in areas of historic significance,” Grijalva said in his letter.
