US federal workforce reductions have left national parks struggling, with Yosemite National Park among the hardest hit. Thousands of federal employees are losing their jobs as the Trump administration moves to downsize the government.

Conservationists fear that fewer employees will impact essential services, from trail maintenance to wildfire prevention.
