Recently, I can't help but be intrigued by the wear I see in various select shops.
While the clothing itself is basic T-shirts and sweats, I am captivated by the graphics inspired by the majestic nature. Looking at the tag, it reads, "Parks Project."
Apparently, they create products themed around national parks worldwide and donate a portion of the proceeds to support these parks.
I'm curious about where they originated and what kind of activities they undertake, so I asked Teruyuki Hikiji from National Park Solutions all my questions.

Where and how did Parks Project start?
It began in 2014 in the USA, founded by Keith Eshelman and Sevag Kazanci.
Through years of engaging in sports like surfing and trail running, they developed a desire to protect the natural environment and pass it on to future generations.
Thus, they started creating and selling products themed around national parks, donating a portion of their sales to park operations.
