Option 1

 * National Park of American Samoa
 * The article seems shorter than articles on other well known national parks, therefore I think it can be expanded. In particular I feel that it does not have a very well flushed out ecology section. The American Samoa National park also protects coral reefs near the island on the continental shelf, whose ecology can be talked about in greater detail, including the impact of climate change. Access is also not discussed. From the article, if the reader is not familiar with geography, they would not know where the American Samoa even is. Off the west coast? East Coast? Also, there are a lot of articles on samoan ecology on Wikipedia and the ways that Climate Change will affect the island and reefs, so I believe they should also be linked to the American Samoa National Park article in some way, so the readers are aware they exist. For Park access, an external link was provided

Option 2

 * National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa
 * I came upon this article and saw that it was marked as incomplete. I know that a lot of topics from the previous article would overlap with this one, but since this article is incomplete I thought it would be a good one to work on. I know that the article talks about a National Marine Sanctuary and not a National Park but I was hoping that they were mostly the same and that I would be allowed to work on this.

Option 3

 * Badlands National Park
 * I think some information about ecology is missing again. And Climate Change.
