This occurred a few weeks ago and should have received more attention than it did.

“WASHINGTON — President Biden announced on Friday that he will use his executive authority to restore sweeping environmental protections to three major national monuments that had been stripped away by former President Donald J. Trump.

Mr. Biden will reinstate and slightly expand the original 1.3 million acre boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument, and restore the original 1.8 million acre boundaries of Grand Staircase-Escalante, two rugged and pristine expanses in Utah that are defined by red rock canyons, rich wildlife and archaeological treasures.

He will also restore protections covering the Atlantic Ocean’s first marine monument, the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts, an expanse of sea canyons and underwater mountains off the New England coast.

Mr. Trump had sharply reduced the size of all three national monuments at the urging of ranchers, the fishing industry and many Republican leaders, opening them to mining, drilling and development.”

This was one of the reason I voted for Joe. We need more protections for the environment not less. President made the right move to preserve Bears Ears National Monument well as our other environmental treasures.

Everything Brandon does seems to end up costing us thru the ass. :iagree:
 
I agree with preserving these national monuments and treasures. I don't agree with forcing people into the green weenie agendas. The world will always have changing climate; that is part of the gig here.

Good for him, but conservation is not the environment and redrawing the lines on maps won't make a dint in the added carbon his spending plans will be adding to the atmosphere.
