Our natural wonders are the heart and soul of our nation.
They unite and inspire us – a birthright we pass down from generation to generation.
That’s why from Day One, we’ve been carrying out the most aggressive conservation and climate agenda ever, anywhere in the world.

Today, I've designated two more national monuments.
The Chuckwalla National Monument in Southern California – 624,000 acres of desert habitat and sacred lands.
And the Sáttítla Highlands in Northern California – 224,000 acres of mountains, waters, and stunning rock formations.

President Biden also created the Sáttítla Highlands National Monument, protecting over 224,000 acres of otherworldly and spectacular landscape in northern California. At the new monument’s core sits the Medicine Lake Volcano, a massive dormant volcano that has fostered a dramatic landscape dotted with cinder cones, volcanic craters, spatter cones, and hundreds of cave-like lava tubes. The Sáttítla Highlands include the ancestral homelands of and are sacred to the Pit River Tribe and Modoc Peoples. The monument will be managed by the Department of Agriculture’s U.S. Forest Service.

Building on his historic conservation agenda, President Biden signed a proclamation today creating the Chuckwalla National Monument. The Chuckwalla National Monument will protect and preserve more than 624,000 acres of lands in southern California that hold extraordinarily diverse ecological, cultural, and historical value. By designating this new national monument, President Biden is enhancing outdoor access for nearby communities, preserving critical habitat for imperiled and rare species, and ensuring the ancestral homelands and sacred cultural legacies of the region’s Tribal Nations endure for generations to come – all while demonstrating that clean energy and conservation can go hand in hand. The monument will be managed by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management.

With @POTUS' creation of the Chuckwalla National Monument, our Administration has created a continuous corridor along the Colorado River of nearly 18 million acres of protected lands.
Stretching nearly 600 miles, it's the largest area of protected lands in the lower 48 states.

What didn’t seem possible a few years ago is now within reach. As we celebrate three years since @POTUS issued the Federal Sustainability Plan, we are unlocking the path to cutting the U.S. Government’s emissions and reaching net zero by 2050.

Reducing methane emissions benefits everyone. The final rule announced today helps local communities breathe easier by ensuring that valuable natural gas reaches the market rather than polluting the air.
