Panagiotakopoulos said in an email to work group colleagues that her decision to step down was based on the belief she is "no longer able to help the most vulnerable members" of the U.S. population.

Under the proposal, not only will park service operations lose funding, but other critical areas, like historic preservation, will also be affected. Other public lands, like national monuments, risk being turned over to the state for management.In response, sustainable tourism company

has curated two limited edition "" trips focused on protecting these revered landscapes, launching this June. Blending the concept of adventure with activism, each trip will be led by a professional guide and guest activist for the first time to lead in-depth discussions on the importance of our parks while experiencing them firsthand."We are at such a critical moment for our parks – arguably one of the most critical moments for our parks in my lifetime – where we're seeing billion dollar cuts to our National Park Service and the stewardship of that land, while simultaneously might be seeing a future where generations aren't afforded what we all have access when we were there," said Wawa Gatheru, one of the Active-ism trip hosts and founder of the nonprofit Black Girl Environmentalist that works to close the gap of climate justice and education.

The Active-ism trips will take travelers to two of the most iconic U.S. national parks, the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. There, they'll hike, connect with local communities, and have discussions guided by their activist host on topics such as what challenges parks are currently facing and how we can empower ourselves to make change."Just going to our national parks is a form of activism, going and experiencing will mean you're more passionate, more curious, and will take more action afterwards," said Leigh Barnes, president of the Americas for Intrepid Travel. The company will also donate $50,000 to nongovernmental organizations protecting the U.S. national parks. "Not only do we have great people leading and adding to them, but just by going and experiencing it, you're going to be creating positive change."

The Active-ism trips are also more affordable, up to $600 cheaper than other Intrepid trips. The group size will max out at 10 people for a more intimate travel environment.

Intrepid carefully curated the activists hosts the trip to ensure they could kick-start conversations about the intersectionality and inclusivity of environmentalism, according to Barnes. Although climate change impacts everyone, low-income communities that depend the most on natural resources are hit the hardest, according toIf I'm shopping, I'm mostly looking for vintage...even if I'm shopping online. I tend to veer towards French and Italian brands, or when I'm visiting India, there are specific stores I go to. There is a place in Paris, in Le Marais, where I found my favorite Saint Laurent shoes. Love me a Saint Laurent! And in Rome, where I grew up, there's the Porta Portese market where you can get a vintage cashmere cardigan, old books, and unique pink knee-high socks.

It's a pair of jeans that everyone always asks me about that are really old Levi'. They were given to me by a guy, so you know they have that kind of heavy weight to them. I wear those with a white T-shirt and usually Repetto ballerina slippers.It's funny, I never thought about [style] in my family, you know, definitely on my British side. I do have a certain reserve, and I love a good collar and an A-line skirt. There's definitely an influence there. Recently, when I went home to Kolkata, one of my aunties came over, and she was wearing a sari that had a very old look to it, almost like a black and white photo made in red, and she had these thick rim, almost like German intellectual glasses on, and I looked at her, and I was like, "Oh if I wore a sari, I would wear it like her."

Every city has its thing, and in New York, it's more about the person youthan the clothes you're wearing. New York has a real sense of freedom of expression, and you can change who you are or what you wear every year, and no one will judge you. Whereas, in a smaller place, everyone is like, "Who does she think she is? You know?" I don't feel that here.
