https://www.vice.com/en/article/alternate-national-parks-service-explains-why-its-twitter-will-remain-anonymous/

Update, Jan. 28: After this story’s publication, the owners of @AltNatParkSer changed their Twitter handle to @NotAltWorld. “We are not members of any US government agency. We support those who do, in particular those who work in the science and environmental depts. From now on, this account will work to help spread scientific news & issues around the world. We ask our colleagues to do the same,” they wrote on Twitter yesterday.

The account also tweeted: “We’ve handed the mantle of promoting the ALT National Park Service’s work over to @ALTUSNPS. They are to raise funds for @NatlParkService.”

@ALTUSNPS also does not appear to be run by government employees, and claims to be selling merchandise to “raise awareness [and] funds.”
