 * Article title
 * Badlands National Park


 * Article Evaluation
 * The badlands national park article is a C-class article with little information on each topic it covers. It does mention the Native tribes that were native to the land before westward expansion removed them. It also has brief discussions on relevant social issues involving the park right now. It lacks information on how climate change is affecting the park and how those changes will effect natural flora and fauna.
