A plan to allow a real estate developer to use part of the land in Yosemite National Park is facing strong opposition. The Trump administration is considering a land swap between the park and a private construction company based in Nevada.

The proposed swap would enable the company to build a road to a 33-hectare parcel where it plans to develop a small residential complex. Further details about the plan and the opposition it is facing are available.

The opposition reflects a broader concern about the privatization of iconic national sites. Elected officials and conservationists are among those opposing the plan, but specific details about their concerns are not provided here.
