Donald Trump has terminated thousands of employees in national park and forest management, causing claims to encourage the relocation that could harm the most sacred natural countries in the country.
About 1,000 newly hired employees of National Park Service (NPS) and around 3,400 American forest service employees were fired last week, CBS News reported.
The cuts are the newest maneuver of the Doge van Trump and Elon Musk to close the government and eradicate fraud, waste and abuse.
The dismissals were not publicly announced by the agencies and were confirmed instead by Democratic legislators.
NPS and the forestry service did not immediately respond to the request from DailyMail.com for comments.
“Investigative. This means chaos in our national parks, less health care for Indians and a loss of technical staff who operate our water infrastructure in the West. Americans deserve better, “wrote the Californian Democrat Senator Alex Padilla on X.
Colorado Democrat Senator John Hickenlooper has posted in the same way: 'National parks are part of our way of life. They are where Colora Dance work and play. They are how we protect our most cherished landscapes. They stimulate our economy.
“These staff savings can decide our national parks and endanger the benefits they offer,” he continued.

Donald Trump and his friend Elon Musk have cut jobs at many federal agencies in recent weeks and have supplied protests in Washington, DC and throughout the country
NPS has 20,000 employees, while the forestry service maintains around 35,0000 employees.
The cutbacks will top up approximately 5 and 10 percent of those agencies respectively.
The forestry service supervises 190 million hectares of American country, while the NPs facilitate more than 325 million visitors of the 428 parks and other locations in the country every year.
“I am absolutely deeply sad and completely destroyed that I have lost my dream job of an educational park Ranger with the National Park Service this Valentine's Day,” wrote Brian Gibbs on Facebook after he ended on Friday.
“Access to my government's e-mail was refused mid-afternoon and my position was torn away under my feet after my service was over at 3.45 pm on a cold snow-covered Friday,” his long post was about his resignation.
“Moreover, before I could fully print my government records, I was also locked up from my electronic personal file that contained my secure professional records.”
Gibbs worked at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa, where he learned visitors about the importance of a local Indian cemetery before he was fired.
NPs regularly hire between 7,000 – 8,000 seasonal employees, but these roles will be exempt from the federal hiring of Trump, which he introduced on day one of his second administration.
Proponents of the National Park say that the job losses in combination with the recruitment.
Gibbs wrote that he was deeply sad about losing his job and noticed how to move his family from the area

On Friday, when many of the cutbacks were announced, Yosemite National Park in California on social media slows down the reservations for many popular campsites.
'Yosemite National Park slows down the sale of camping nights for five campsites (Upper Pines, Lower Pines, North Pines, Waona and Hodgdon Meadow),' read an Instagram message.
'This delay influences the reservations of June 15 – 14 July. We understand the impact this has on visitors who plan camping trips to the park. We are grateful for your patience. '
It was unclear in the post whether the job loss had something to do with the delays of the camping reservation.
“There is nothing 'efficient' without distinction thousands and thousands of employees in red and blue states whose work is desperately needed,” said Washington -Democrat Senator Patty Murray, who blames both Trump and Musk.
“Two billionaires who have a zero concept of what the federal workforce does can be breaking the US government – decimating essential services and leaving us all worse,” she said.
