As the nation celebrates the National Park Service centennial, we deserve a director who will uphold the integrity of the agency’s mission and values. We urge you to remove Director Jonathan Jarvis.
Jarvis has failed to address numerous and pervasive sexual harassment and hostile work environment violations.
He lied to the Secretary of the Interior and intentionally bypassed the agency’s Ethics Office in order to write an unsanctioned book.
He has failed to discipline park service employees who deliberately omitted and misrepresented scientific data.
And he is pushing for policy changes that would give corporate donors unprecedented influence over park managers and National Park Service decisions.
We and the Park Service cannot wait. Jarvis must go.
