The Fight Is On to Save Our National Monuments

Word leaked this week that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke wants President Trump to slash protections from 10 iconic national monuments. He also wants Trump to significantly shrink at least four of them: Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah, Gold Butte in Nevada, and Cascade-Siskiyou in California and Oregon.



Rolling back protections will open the door for more logging, mining, grazing, fracking and destruction of wildlife.



"Zinke and Trump are displaying their disdain for these magnificent public lands and the millions of people who demanded they remain protected," said Randi Spivak, public lands program director at the Center for Biological Diversity. "Trump has no authority to make any of the changes that Zinke's recommending. If he tries to, we'll see him in court."



That's just one of the many reasons the Center's launching Ignite Change this Sunday — a nationwide grassroots network to protect wildlife and wild places from Trump. Saving our public lands will be the first campaign.
