Biden announces creation of multiple national monuments.

President Biden is set to announce the designation of two new national monuments, Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in Nevada and Castner Range National Monument in Texas, as well as a call for an expansion of protected areas around the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. The announcements are part of the Conservation in Action Summit, which also includes programs to address the global climate crisis and foster conservation partnerships with tribal nations. The event comes shortly after Biden approved the Willow oil drilling project in Alaska, which disappointed environmental advocates.
