Ukusuka kuthando lwangaphandle kunye nomnqweno wokukhusela umhlaba weepaki kubizo lokufundisa uluntu, zininzi izizathu zokuba abantu baphefumlelwe ukuba babe ngabagcini eMelika. Iipaki zeSizwe . INational Park Service & apos; umgcini wasetyhini wokuqala waseburhulumenteni (owayebizwa ngokuba yi-rangerette ngelo xesha) wayeqeshwe okwethutyana ngo-1918 ukuvala isithuba esashiywa yindoda eyaphendula eMelika & apos; ukubiza iingalo ukuba zisebenze eYurophu ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi I, kwaye kwangoko, uninzi lwabagcini bezinto ababhinqileyo babephethe izihloko zemisebenzi ezinje ngendalo okanye umncedisi wolutsha. Sivela kude kakhulu ukusukela kwixesha laxa abasetyhini babekhutshelwa ngaphandle kwinkonzo okanye behliselwa kwimisebenzi 'efanelekileyo', kwaye namhlanje, abasetyhini banokufunyanwa besebenza kwimisebenzi kwiNkonzo yeSizwe yePaki.
Dibana nabasetyhini abathathu abanekratshi lokunxiba umgcini wepaki kunye neapos emgceni egameni leNational Park Service: Jin Prugsawan (Haleakalā National Park), Jessica Ferracane (Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park), kunye noAlena Kopshever (Point Reyes National Seashore).
Sikwabonelela ngeentlobo ngeentlobo zeenkqubo, ukusukela ekuboniseni iinkwenkwezi esibhakabhakeni esibengezelayo ebusuku phezu kweHaleakalā ukuya ekuthetheni ngeentlobo ezizodwa zeentaka zehlathi, ezinye zazo ezinokuthi zifumaneke apha kwaye azikho kwenye indawo. Abagcini beepaki batyelela abafundi kumagumbi abo okufundela apho sithetha ngegeology efumaneka epakini okanye sithathe abafundi kuhambo oluya epakini ukuze batyale iintlobo zemveli. Kukho iipropathi ezisemva kwezi ndawo ziyasebenza nazo, njengokugcina ipaki kunye neapos; s okanye ukudala imiqondiso emitsha kunye nemiboniso yabantu yokufunda okungakumbi ngepaki. '
'Ndifumene iNkonzo yeSizwe yePaki kwangoko ebomini bam kwaye ngexesha elifanelekileyo kakhulu. Ndiqale uqeqesho lwam kwi-NPS xa ndandineminyaka eli-18 ubudala kunyaka wam wokugqibela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo. Ukuvela kwikhaya elinomzali omnye, ukufumana umsebenzi usemncinci yayiyimfuneko. Ndisebenze kwivenkile kunye neminye imisebenzi engaqhelekanga, kodwa ndibone ukuba ngumsebenzi wam njengomsebenzi oya kwindlela eya kwikhondo lomsebenzi. Okukhona ndifunda nge-NPS ngexesha lokufundela kwam, ndaye ndonwaba ngakumbi kukucinga ngokuba ngumgcini wepaki. Emva kokuthweswa isidanga kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo kunye nokubhaliswa kwam kwiYunivesithi yaseGeorge Mason, ngokusesikweni ndaba ngumlondolozi wepaki eArlington House, eRobert E. Lee Memorial.
Andisoze ndiwulibale umzuzu xa ndanxiba umnqwazi wam osicaba okokuqala. Ndaziva ndinelunda ngokuba yinxalenye yeNPS, kwaye ndisenjalo nangoku. Ukusukela ngoko, umsebenzi wam uye wandithatha kulo lonke ilizwe apho I & apos; ndibenethamsanqa lokuba ndisebenze kwezinye zezithsaba zesithsaba kunye neempawu ezifihliweyo kwinkqubo yeSizwe yePaki yaseU.S. Iipaki apho I & apos zisebenza khona zibandakanya iHawai'i Volcanoes National Park, Yosemite National Park, Great Falls Park, Zion National Park, Wright Brothers National Memorial, Indawo yaseMbali yeSizwe iFort Raleigh, Cape Hatteras National Seashore, kunye neHaleakalā National Park ngoku.

'Kwasebutsheni bam, ndaya kuqeqesho apho kwabelwana ngesibalo esothusayo: & uninzi; Uninzi lwabantu abakwizikhundla zolawulo olukwinqanaba eliphakathi kwi-NPS bazaliswe ngamadoda amhlophe angaphezulu kweminyaka engama-40. & Apos; Ndandineminyaka engama-22 ngelo xesha. Ndinesiqingatha seAsia nesiqingatha esimhlophe, kwaye ezo manani zisandenza ndizive ndihlelelekile ngokungenabulungisa. Njengearhente, i-NPS inomsebenzi ekufuneka iwenze ngokubhekisele kwiyantlukwano kunye nokulingana ngokobuhlanga. Baninzi abantu phaya abazama ukutshintsha oku, kubandakanya nam, kwaye ndijonge phambili ekufumaneni amathuba amaninzi kubantu abohlukeneyo ukuba bazive bamkelekile kwaye banamathuba kwiipaki zesizwe.
Namhlanje, andiziboni ndikwindima yobunkokeli ndineminyaka engama-32 kuphela, kodwa ndikwangqongwe ngabantu abahlukeneyo ngokobudala, ubuhlanga, kunye nesini kunokuba ndandikhe ndasebenza. Ndikhuthazekile ngabantu endisebenza nabo eHaleakalā National Park, uninzi lwabo ingabantu basetyhini kwindima yabaphathi kunye nenkqubo ekhokelayo, kubandakanya ipaki kunye nentsumpa. '
'Into ebenomdla kum malunga neNational Park Service kwaye indigcina apha ibisoloko ingabantu endibanethamsanqa lokusebenza nabo nokudibana nabo kwiipaki zethu. Kule minyaka ili-14 idlulileyo yomsebenzi wam, ndiye ndadibana nabantu abakhohlakeleyo nabakhuthazayo. Ukusuka kubafazi nakumadoda aphambili ekufundeni ngotshintsho lwemozulu kwiipaki zethu ukuya kwindwendwe ezisepakini ezisandula ukubona iMilky Way. Ndiziva ndinethamsanqa lokuba nomsebenzi apho abantu bayikhathaleleyo indalo esingqongileyo kunye neendawo zendalo, bazinikele ekukhanyiseni amabali angafaniyo okwahlukahlukana kwiipaki zethu, nakwindawo isizwe sethu esigqibe ekubeni ngokudibeneyo sikulungele ukukhusela izizukulwana ezizayo. .
