Summary
The America’s Living Library Act directs the Interior Department, through the USGS, to launch a pilot project that gathers whole‑genome sequences from plants, animals, fungi and microbes found in selected National Park units and places the data in a publicly accessible database, while protecting sensitive location and personal information. It establishes a new office to run the program, coordinates with agencies such as the National Park Service, USDA, Smithsonian and NIH, and sets criteria for choosing the initial park sites. The goal is to expand scientific knowledge, support conservation and provide educational resources.
