ADD YOUR NAME: Take action with the Trust for Public Land to restore Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante >> ADD YOUR NAME   Friend,        In 2017, President Trump shrunk Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments – ignoring more than two million people across the country, and the interests of Tribal nations, local community leaders, small businesses, and scientists who supported protecting these national treasures. Every day that Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante remain unprotected leaves these fragile landscapes susceptible to damage.    We have an opportunity to reverse this monumental mistake and restore protections for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante. Last week, Secretary Deb Haaland visited Utah to review the shrinking of these national monuments as part of President Biden’s executive order.This trip will help inform Secretary Haaland’s recommendations to the President regarding boundary revisions.                    Her Tweet says it all – irreplaceable areas like the Sand Island Petroglyphs in Bears Ears pictured above, and the Toadstool Hoodoos in Grand Staircase-Escalante must be preserved and protected now. That’s why we need your help. Sign on to tell Secretary Haaland to restore these national treasures!            SIGN ON               The purpose of national monument designations is to create permanent protections for America’s most special places. Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments were designated by Presidents Clinton and Obama to safeguard Native American sacred sites, irreplaceable archeological areas, and lands of extraordinary biodiversity. The national monuments also encourage business investment and community growth, while providing an unforgettable place for locals and visitors to spend time outdoors.        Please sign our petition now to help restore Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante by sending your message to Secretary Haaland today.            SIGN THE PETITION             Thank you for your commitment to protecting these national treasures.    Yours in conservation,         The Trust for Public Land.              Trust for Public Land.
