Biden To Restore National Monuments That Trump Trashed
Quotes from the article:
President Joe Biden will sign proclamations Friday to reverse former President Donald Trump’s rollbacks of three national monuments — two in Utah and a third off the Atlantic coast — restoring them to their original boundaries and reinstating more stringent safeguards.
...
In 2017, Trump carved more than 2 million acres from the Utah sites — the largest rollback of federal land protections in U.S. history. The boundary of Bears Ears, a 1.35 million-acre landscape that is sacred to several Native American tribes, was shrunk by 85%. The nearby 1.87 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante ― the largest land national monument in the country, rich in both archeological and paleontological resources ― was cut roughly in half.
...
Biden will restore both monuments to their original footprint while retaining approximately 11,000 acres that Trump added to Bears Ears in 2017. He’ll also reinstate prohibitions on commercial fishing within Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, a 4,900-square-mile protected site off the East Coast.

That was one of the most upsetting things about the Turd years. So many things they did, apparently just to upset and depress the public.
