National parks crushed and littered with debris after the government closed
Tent camps, toilets and visitor centers in Yosemite National Park were closed due to an abundance of litter and human faeces. Blame the government's shutdown and the suspended waste collection.
Since December 22, in California park, bathrooms and visitor centers have been closed, and garbage collection has been suspended. However, the park itself remained open, writes Fox News. By Monday, feces and litter began to literally swallow up Yosemite and other national parks of the country.
“Due to closed restrooms, some visitors relieve themselves in natural areas adjacent to high-traffic areas, posing a health hazard to other visitors,” said National Park Service spokesman Andrew Muñoz.
A partial federal government shuttling led to the fact that the parks were left without most of the rangers and other employees who serve the campsites and generally support the work of the parks.
Eyewitnesses say that so much garbage and human waste have not been seen in these parts in their entire lives. Volunteers even tried to clean a few toilets, but they themselves say that they will not be able to do this on an ongoing basis.
Authorities reported the closure of tent cities Mariposa Grove, Wawona and Hodgson Meadows due to human excrement and urine, which literally flooded the areas adjacent to California's 41 highway. Officials ask visitors to use the toilets before visiting the park and remove their rubbish.
Other parks are also facing the effects of cluttering. In the Death Valley, toilet houses were opened for travelers, but they were not cleaned or cleaned. The representative of the park said that the extensions will remain open if they do not become hazardous to health.
Meanwhile, holidaymakers in Joshua Three National Park in Southern California reported on several families complaining about the condition of certain objects in the park, but there were no staff or caretakers nearby who could handle the situation, said Etan Feltges, manager of the gift shop Coyote Corner near Joshua Three.
