The fate of two national monuments in California, established by former President Biden, is in limbo after President Trump issued an executive order aimed at rescinding their protections. The monuments, Chuckwalla and Sattitla Highlands, cover a combined 850,000 acres and are home to diverse wildlife and sacred to native tribes. Trump's order, which also affected various labor and discrimination policies, has raised concerns about environmental and cultural implications as it seeks to revoke protections that limit logging and mining in these lands.
The fate of two newly named national monuments in California remains unclear after President Trump issued, then deleted, a statement rescinding their protections.
Chuckwalla National Monument covers 624,000 acres, rich in diverse wildlife, while Sattitla Highlands National Monument spans 224,000 acres of national forest.
