Mike Finley, former superintendent of Yellowstone, Yosemite and Everglades national parks, was recently the former chairman of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission.  Finley also served as president of the Turner Foundation and worked with companies, citizen groups, government  officials and recreation interests to promote sustainable conservation practices. While with the Park Service he was one of the most decorated civil servants in government. He says that NEPA was crucial in stopping total destruction of the Florida Everglades, limiting auto traffic in the Yosemite Valley to alleviate traffic congestion and pollution, and in stopping the controversial New World Mine from being built on the back doorstep of Yellowstone.
