From first Native American leader to Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante boundary changes.
(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune File Photo) Looking south beyond the Colorado River, is the northern most boundary of the Bears Ears region in southeastern Utah. EcoFlight flew journalists, tribal people and activists over the northern portion of the proposed 1.9 million acre site in April 2018 in an effort to push for permanent protection from impacts caused by resource extraction and high-impact public use. President Barack Obama designated a 1.9 million acre monument only to have it significantly downsized by President Donald Trump. The monument boundaries, along with the Grand-Staircase Escalante national monument, are under review by the administration of President Joe Biden.
Gov. Spencer Cox and Utah's entire congressional delegation are calling on President Joe Biden to not expand the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments. They sent a letter to the White House last week explaining their concerns.
