President Biden's announcement to create the Chuckwalla and Sattitla National Monuments marks a significant step in environmental conservation, protecting over 848,000 acres from energy development, drilling, and mining.
Biden, through the Antiquities Act, aims to protect more land than any previous president, contributing to a total of over 674 million acres of public lands and federal waters protected during his administration.
The Chuckwalla National Monument, located near Joshua Tree, will create a 600-mile wildlife corridor, emphasizing wildlife conservation and the importance of biodiversity in California's desert ecosystem.
In conjunction with the new monuments, the Biden administration has systematically restricted oil and gas drilling in extensive areas, demonstrating a strong commitment to preserving natural resources and cultural sites.
