Our monuments and parks are national treasures - not commodities.
America's public lands belong to all of us. The protection of our national parks, forests, monuments, and wilderness areas should be a priority for current and future generations.
Attacks on public lands and the laws that established them threaten our clean air and water, and the opportunity for all Americans to access the power of time outside. They undermine the outdoor recreation economy and the gateway communities that power it. And they risk the erasure of rich sources of our national heritage, diverse cultures and natural beauty.
That's why we're taking action against Secretary Doug Burgum's recent orders to review all public lands currently protected from fossil fuel and mining development, including over 160 national monuments, under the guise of "energy dominance."
It's time to stand strong in opposing efforts to roll back national monument protections, weaken the Antiquities Act, and transfer or sell public lands to private interests.
