 * incorporate more info about John Muir since he is pictured in the margin
 * his efforts and debacles with government to protect land
 * California and so on
 * documented racism


 * Madison Grant
 * conservationist and writer
 * "The Passing of the Great Race"
 * zoologist Henry Fairfield Osborn

Relevancy (NEW) Controversies (NEW)
 * original protected areas movement was restricted to white people (fact; make sure to phrase it so it doesn't sound biased)
 * key moments and events that spurred the government to protect areas
 * e.g., 1970s environmental movement, certain policies, economic booms, etc.
 * statistics of demographics who have visited protected areas over time
 * Trump presidency

Controversies: past events and current climate/views/opinions concerning protected areas by Lauren Ahn
 * Protected area or more specifically California protected areas


 * Lacking information on specific instances where protected areas under the US became unprotected
 * Examples of exclusive policies... should be stats from ESPM 155 course on disparities between East and West Oakland in terms of what's legally protected
 * Should focus more on political and social shifts that prompted this
 * Definition of protected area constantly changes especially because of how subjective and dependent cultural values are in the given context
 * Would be interesting to tie in the Ohlone and how their lands weren't considered protected
