So you know. "All national parks and federal wildlife refuges are closed for the duration of the shutdown, and no fishing or hunting will be allowed on public lands. About 500 Fish and Wildlife Service employees, whose salaries are paid by a permanent appropriation, will continue caring for animals at parks and hatcheries. “No permitting work or consultations will occur with respect to the Endangered Species Act, Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species, the Lacy Act or the National Environmental Policy Act,” according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Although endangered species monitoring on public lands will cease, some animals will still get assistance."
