President Biden Announces Creation of Two New National Monuments and a Marine Sanctuary to Protect Half a Million Acres of Federal Land

President Biden announced the establishment of two new national monuments in Nevada and Texas, as well as the creation of a marine sanctuary in U.S. waters near the Pacific Remote Islands southwest of Hawaii. The move will bring more than half a million federal acres under a new set of protections. At the White House Conservation in Action Summit, Biden emphasized the need to preserve these natural wonders for future generations, calling it a "birthright to pass down from generation to generation." The announcement comes despite Biden's approval of a controversial fossil fuel drilling project in the Alaskan Arctic.
