An important but often overlooked part of DEI pertains to disabilities. In fact, DEIA has been suggested as a new way to include access in the title. On July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed and put into place. This law was originally modeled after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to provide equal opportunities for those who have disabilities. Many natural resource agencies work to ensure outdoor spaces are accessible for people with a range of physical abilities.
