    "abstract": "Lowell Sumner's retrospective traces the ebb and flow of biological research and management in the U.S. National Park Service from its early ecological surveys in the 1930s through mid-century decline and recent revival. He highlights the pioneering influence of Joseph Grinnell and Aldo Leopold in establishing non-interference and active stewardship principles, George M. Wright's groundbreaking Wildlife Division and its formative Fauna publications, and the disruptive impacts of World War II and postwar neglect. Sumner documents efforts to reinvigorate park biology—via the Leopold Report, National Academy of Sciences review, and the establishment of dedicated research budgets and offices—and argues that only sustained, well-funded ecological inquiry can prevent irreversible degradation of park ecosystems.",
