On January 7, 2025, President Biden designated the Chuckwalla and Sáttítla National Monuments in California, protecting nearly 850,000 acres, crucial for biodiversity and Indigenous heritage. The Chuckwalla National Monument, spanning 624,000 acres, is part of an 18 million-acre conservation corridor aimed at safeguarding wildlife habitats and ancestral lands of various tribal nations. The Sáttítla Highlands National Monument, covering 224,000 acres, includes ecologically significant areas. This initiative aligns with Biden's 'America the Beautiful' plan, which aims to conserve 30% of U.S. lands by 2030, and highlights a continued commitment to environmental conservation and recognition of historical injustices against Indigenous peoples.
