President Trump has ordered significant reductions to two national monuments in Utah, Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears. These actions will decrease protections on nearly 3 million acres, affecting over 90% of each monument's original area. The cuts are more drastic than those made in 2017, which were previously the largest reduction of federal land protections in U.S. history. The Biden administration had restored the monuments' original boundaries in 2021. AI
