Can protecting nature be nonpartisan?
The Trump administration is reshaping how America treats its public lands—quietly handing over millions of acres in Alaska while rolling back environmental protections nationwide.

The result is a complicated mix of optimism, policy battles, and a race against time to protect what’s left. Lois Parshley with Grist has the story that has a chance of bucking your expectations.
