Cultural
resources are our record of the human experience. Collectively, these
archeological sites, cultural landscapes, ethnographic resources, museum
collections, and historic buildings and structures connect one generation to
the next.
The National Park Service is charged with conserving cultural
resources so that they may be enjoyed by future generations. Climate change is
adding challenges to this role, and will continue to affect cultural resources
in diverse ways. At the same time, through the tangible and intangible
qualities they hold, cultural resources are also part of the solution to
climate change.
