As part of WWF's Climate Savers initiative, Xanterra Parks & Resorts, America's largest park and resort management company, with operating concessions in Death Valley, is commited to cutting its heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions.
Xanterra has pledged to reduce its CO2 emissions 10% below its 2000 emissions levels by 2015 - an approximate reduction of 9,308 tons of CO2 - by using more efficient vehicles and appliances, and purchasing renewable energy.
At its operations in Death Valley National Park, Xanterra has installed one of the largest non-utility-owned renewable energy systems in the US - a one megawatt (1 MW) solar photovoltaic energy system. It also has solar-powered systems in its operations in Yellowstone and Zion national parks.
