Biden's Monumental Move: New National Monuments in Texas and Nevada.
TL;DR Summary
President Biden will designate two new national monuments, protecting nearly 514,000 acres of land in Texas and Nevada from development. The move is part of his pledge to protect 30% of America's lands and waters by 2030. The protected areas include Castner Range, a former military training site in El Paso, and Avi Kwa Ame, a sacred tribal site in southern Nevada. The designations aim to protect wildlife and prevent mining and oil drilling on public lands, but come amid criticism over the administration's approval of a massive oil drilling project in Alaska.
