Obama moves to protect land in Utah, Nevada

[guno]

Good, hope more is coming

President Barack Obama moved Wednesday to preserve wide swaths of land in the American West, including a controversial designation making the Bears Ears area in Utah a national monument, pitting him against the state's Republican governor and congressional delegation.


Obama said in a statement that the 1.35-million-acre Bears Ears monument, so called for its distinctive pair of buttes, would "protect some of the country's most significant natural, cultural and archaeological resources, including important ancestral grounds for numerous tribes."
A second national monument in Nevada, Gold Butte, preserves 300,000 acres on the outskirts of Las Vegas.

Yup.

There is another thread on this.

The local Native Americans are happy.

The local politicians are not.
