Governor Gavin Newsom celebrated President Biden’s action today establishing the Chuckwalla and Sáttítla National Monuments. The designation adds protections to more than 840,000 acres of some of California’s most culturally and environmentally significant landscapes.

Both designations honor the leadership of tribes who have stewarded these lands for time immemorial and were advanced through decades of work by local community leaders, business owners, and environmental organizations.

The new national monuments add more than half a million acres to California’s historic 30×30 initiative – the state’s goal to conserve 30% of lands and coastal waters by 2030. This addition brings the state’s total lands conserved through the 30×30 initiative to 25.8% and 26.1 million acres. Today’s announcement follows President Biden’s action yesterday to protect the Pacific and Atlantic coasts from expanded offshore oil and gas drilling.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

How ironic. Biden is in town as everything burns. Respect for sacred lands aye? Even the Native Americans practiced forest management.
