The article summarizes the report.
Here is a link to the actual published report which is much more specific about the names the researchers found offensive:
https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pan3.10302
The report was published in the “People and Nature”, a publication of the British Ecological Society. Since the report pertained to US National Parks, why wasn’t it published in the United States?
Also of interest the research was funded by the David H. Smith Conservation Fellowship Program at Duke University. Here is a link: https://researchfunding.duke.edu/david-h-smith-conservation-research-fellowship-program
The funding of the fellowships comes from the Cedar Tree Foundation. Link: https://cedartreefound.org/who-we-are
Of interest the Cedar Tree Foundation grants were given to support local conservation issues when David Smith, the benefactor was living. After his death the foundation began supporting environmental justice, environmental health, and other leftist causes.
So many foundations are coopted by leftist administrators one the wealthy benefactor dies, and the foundation funds are diverted to social justice causes, and not the mission envisioned by the foundation benefactor. Perhaps it is time to reform foundations. One obvious reform is to eliminate the tax free status of foundations. The second is to have a sunset provision so foundations are not a perpetual source of funding. Require foundations to spend all of their funds within 20 years of founding. The funds must be spent on specific projects, directly pertaining to the mission stated by the original benefactor, not simply rolled over to another foundation. At the end of the 20 year period, the foundation funds must be completely dispersed and the organization terminated.

Teddy Roosevelt was truly amazing. Evidently he was responsible for Yellowstone National Park (made a national park when he was 13 or 14 years old).
Well, me and my friends here at Dumb Swede Springs sure are relieved to hear that!

Professors apparently have too much time on their hands.
