Advice: The park service’s social media is usually absurd but it’s not wrong
The National Park Service doesn’t have a monopoly on funny tweets; the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation gives the national account a run for its money.Tara Teel, a professor at Colorado State University who studies the social aspects of wildlife-human relations, said people are increasingly finding themselves in dangerous situations with wildlife.
“People are wanting to have these more intimate and up-close experiences with wildlife, but at the same time they are not aware of the dangers associated with that,” she said.with the National Park Service in 2017 trying to emphasize the importance of keeping a distance from wildlife; humor ended up being a key part of the project.
“Information alone isn’t enough to get people to change their behaviors,” she said. “We were focused on making the messages relatable ... I think the humor is a great way initially to rope people in.”
