The people who lived here at Wupatki would almost certainly have been very focused on climate, since it directly affected their survival. Today, the National Park Service is working to rise to the challenge, developing a comprehensive climate change strategy for all parks that emphasizes science, facilitates adaptation, encourages sustainable operations, and supports broad communication.
