- tourism, species protection, cultural/historic, popular demand to keep protected, etc.
- who establishes this value?

  - California and so on
  - documented racism

Controversies: past events and current climate/views/opinions concerning protected areas by Lauren Ahn

Lacking information on specific instances where protected areas under the US became unprotected
Examples of exclusive policies... should be stats from ESPM 155 course on disparities between East and West Oakland in terms of what's legally protected
Should focus more on political and social shifts that prompted this
Definition of protected area constantly changes especially because of how subjective and dependent cultural values are in the given context
- Would be interesting to tie in the Ohlone and how their lands weren't considered protected
