Press Release for Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments Rollbacks

GSEP’s position on the downsizing of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Grand Staircase Escalante Partners today opposes two Presidential Proclamations that reduce the size of Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments by approximately 90% each. The actions threaten the future of these historically, scientifically, Tribally, and economically important sites and the gateway communities that depend on them. The Proclamations show that all National Monuments and cherished landscapes across the country are at risk.
