Just over two weeks since President Trump decimate Just over two weeks since President Trump decimated Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments, the administration is racing ahead with its work to try and erase the National Monuments from both the landscape and public awareness. 

Last week, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) removed signage from Bears Ears National Monument, starting with the Tribal seals representing the 5 Tribes of the Bears Ears Commission and quickly escalating to the complete removal of the monument signs themselves. By Tuesday, July 28, signs signifying the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument had also been removed from at least 5 gateway locations.

These signs play both a practical and symbolic role. They mark the entrances to the national monuments for visitors, indicating that these areas are some of the nation’s most important protected public landscapes that together protect over a hundred thousand ancestral cultural sites. For Bears Ears, the signs made visible the role of Tribal Nations in co-managing and stewarding their ancestral lands.

In April, when this administration first announced In April, when this administration first announced they wanted to open the Greater Chaco Canyon region in New Mexico to oil and gas drilling we asked you to speak up— thank you to everyone who did. Even after receiving 100,000 comments opposing these rollbacks, the Department of the Interior (DOI) is considering two options— revoking protections entirely or shrinking the current protection buffer to just 5 miles, both of which are both unacceptable. 

In either scenario, thousands of cultural sites would be exposed to drilling. Indigenous communities already living with the health impacts of over 37,000 nearby wells would face even more industrial development at their doorstep. 

Comments are due on Wednesday, July 29.  We encourage you to make your voice heard by using the advocacy action from our friends at @nmwilderness:
