In a legal move against recent changes to national parks, groups representing conservationists, historians, and scientists have filed a lawsuit to halt the Trump administration's removal of exhibits related to critical historical and scientific topics.

The lawsuit claims the U.S. Department of the Interior is unlawfully stripping parks of exhibits on topics such as slavery and climate change, undermining both legal mandates and the educational role of national parks.

This legal action follows a federal judge's demand that the National Park Service reinstall an exhibit discussing slavery, removed following an executive order by President Trump aimed at countering what he termed a 'revisionist movement.'
