US/ICOMOS Soiree to Protect World Heritage Sites and National Monuments
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Please Join Us for the US/ICOMOS Soiree to Protect United States World Heritage Sites and Natural Monuments
U.S. World Heritage Sites are threatened by unrelenting development proposals. At the Grand Canyon, for example, resumption of uranium mining may cause devastating radiation affects that could harm visitors and natives. Proposed fracking might destabilize the world's most magnificent gorges.
For the first time in history, lands within United States National Monuments are facing severe reductions in size that may produce devastating consequences to our spectacular cultural and natural landscapes. President Trump signed two proclamations that would reduce the federally protected monument lands within Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante by about two million acres. This marks the most aggressive presidential effort to roll back national monument protections in U.S. history.
Currently, 19 more National Monuments are under review, including:
Five in California: Berryessa Snow Mountain, Carrizo Plain, Giant Sequoia, Mojave Trail, and San Gabriel Mountains. Three in Arizona: Sonoran Desert, Vermilion Cliffs, and Iron Wood Forest. Two in Nevada: Basin and Range and Gold Butte. Two in New Mexico: Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks and Rio Grande del Norte. Cascade Siskiyou of Oregon. Katahdin Woods and Waters of Maine. Plus, the one-of-a-kind under sea volcano, Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean; Papahanaumokuakea of Hawaii /Pacific Ocean; Rose Atoll of American Samoa/Pacific Ocean and the northeast Canyons and Seamount in the Atlantic Ocean
The land cut from the national monuments would be available for oil and gas drilling, mining, and commercial purposes. The fracking of oil and gas drilling process would cause earthquakes that can damage or destroy ancient architecture and natural features within National Monuments. Mining and commerce activities would blight the historical, unique, and precious landscape.
The federal government can sell the public land with $1 dollar per acre to special interest groups or private concerns-- but the federal government would have to pay market price to but it back.
