Trump cuts Grand Staircase‑Escalante national monument's protected area

Trump slashes Utah’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante by 90% In contrast, Obama issued Proclamation 9681 on Dec 4, 2017, to expand the boundaries of the Monuments and protect the lands.

Trump just shrank Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante by over a million acres each, opening public lands to drilling and mining. Public lands should belong to the people, not to the highest bidder.

“You can virtually not even walk on it.” Said our liar, liar pants on fire President re. Bear’s Ears & Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments that he reduced by 91%, where you can actually walk, hunt, fish, graze… Shame on Utah’s elected GOP for this horrific public land grab.

Posted 20 hours ago by "nationalparkhistory: The reasons given for reducing these #monuments are absolutely insane. They essentially amount to “we preserve geology stuff in #GrandCanyon, so we don’t need to in Grand Staircase-Escalante” and “we already have #Indigenous heritage and #archeology..."

We can expect lawsuits seeking to protect the national monuments. suwa.org/suwa-stateme...

Trump just gutted two national monuments, bear ears, and Grand Escalante Staircase in Utah. Thousands of acres gone for development, likely gas and oil exploration. Disgusting, criminal, I hate this. Did you see this reported anywhere, I didn’t. #SaveWildAreas
