Biden to restore national monuments in Utah and New England!
President Biden will sign executive orders expanding the size of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah, and restoring protections for Northeast Canyons and Seamounts off the New England coast, the White House announced Thursday.
Why it matters: The decision will reverse a Trump-era policy that reduced the Bears Ears Monument's size by 85% in 2017. It also comes after a coalition of Native American tribes urged Biden to restore the monument.
