TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums US VI and Puerto Rico St. John National Park removed from UN program

Not to be political but everyone should be aware that, in response to a claim by InfoWars that the UN Boiosphere Reserve Program was a UN land grab, the current administration has removed the STJ park and many other US parks and monuments from the program. The volunteer UN program set standards for maintaining biodiversity in designated preserves.
Here is the only article I can find on the subject from the VI Free Press.

look up Bear's Ears Monument in Utah, another land grab, pathetic

Does the STJ park status change trickle down to us in any way?
Change access? Maintenance? Fees? Administration?

Whether anything "real" will change or not remains to be seen. All that has actually happened at this point is that the park has been taken off of a list that the UN keeps. The actual operation of the park to the UN standards has always been voluntary. That is, our asking that the park be put on the list did not legally obligate us to do anything different than we were already doing.

So, at this point, it is a great, big nothing. No change to anything at all, except for the list that the UN keeps.

The worry, of course, is that having taken the park off of the UN list, the Park Service could now change the way the park and its environment are managed. If they did that before, they risked the UN publicly telling the world that we were no longer maintaining the park to their standards, and so were no longer entitled to be on the list.

Is that a serious worry? I don't honestly think so, but who knows? Only time will tell.

According to the acting superintendent at the park, UNESCO asked them to address several issues that were outside of the purview of the park, like sustainable development and "buffer zones" outside the boundaries of the park. Also this doesn't change the federal protection of the park. There is an article in the Daily News 6/21, if anyone has an on-line subscription.

The US National Parks must not be put under UN control.
The UN is part of the Globalist agenda for a one world order which means the tearing down of the USA. The USA is the only wall preventing the Globalist from taking over the world.
