Welcome back #BearsEars And thanks to KSL KSL 5 TV for acknowledging fossil resources in the area as a contributing factor for its protection. Thanks for helping fight to protect them SVP and others!

Thank you Secretary Deb Haaland & President Biden! #BearsEars

Restoring #BearsEars marked an important chapter in conservation and protecting sacred and ancestral lands. Let’s continue to this work and designate #AviKwaAme as a national monument. It's time to #HonorAviKwaAme HonorAviKwaAme.org

US Department of the Interior I’m pleased to say that in keeping with his promise to conserve our public lands and waters, President Biden will restore protections to three monuments today. This action will allow us to protect our sacred native sites and cherish these monuments for generations to come. (3/3)

#BearsEars will rightly be the center of attention today, but I'm also over the moon about Grand Staircase. It was the first large BLM monument designation and has long been considered by some (like me) to be the wild heart & soul of the Colorado Plateau. ❤️ #SaveGrandStaircase

The northern part of Yellowstone National Park is home to abundant wildlife. You may likely see bison, black bear, grizzly bear, big horn sheep, elk, mule deer, pronghorn, moose, and the elusive wolf.

Curious: Is Biden the first president to publicly quote Edward Abbey? Biden referenced him at the #BearsEars and Grand Staircase-Escalante signing ceremony just now

#BearsEars showed us that protecting public lands and honoring Indigenous communities can and should go hand in hand. That’s why we’re proposing the #AviKwaAme National Monument, to protect lands sacred to nearly a dozen Native American tribes. HonorAviKwaAme.org

An amazing trip to #BearsEars with joint team from USC Paleosciences, Carnegie Museum of Natural History and Idaho Museum of Natural History. Lots of new fossils in the Cutler & Chinle Formations, including #fishapods , rare skull remains of the sail-backed Platyhystrix, and our first aistopod (among other finds) #FossilFriday

The world is so big, and it is host to breeds of animals that are bigger than what one would expect. See the giant breeds in pictures

Thank you Secretary Deb Haaland for your transformational leadership and all you’re doing to fight to protect sacred places and for justice and equity for Tribal Nations and Native peoples. This wouldn’t be possible without you.

Here's what Haaland told me in Nov. on the idea of getting this post:

“I think it’s a time in our world -- not just in our country, but our entire world ― to listen to Indigenous people when it comes to climate change, when it comes to our environment.” huffpost.com/entry/deb-haal…

Welcome back, Bears Ears!

Did you know it's actually larger now than it was under the Obama designation? 11,000+ acres makes it the largest it has ever been today. #BearsEars #MonumentsForAll #Utah

As requested by tribal nations, President Joe Biden is restoring the original boundaries of the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. Here's a fact sheet from the The White House. #BearsEars #SacredSites #Utah indianz.com/News/2021/10/0…

We’re so grateful and relieved, and also full of gratitude for all of you who worked so hard to #SaveGrandStaircase and who #stood with us for #BearsEars . This is very good news. May these lands be protected in perpetuity and stewarded with love and care.

Did you hear the news? Your public lands, #GrandStaircase & #BearsEars will be restored tomorrow by #PresidentBiden ! We’re rejoicing & feeling all the big feels. These last five years were painful! We all need these lands protected for so many reasons. #biodiversity #climate

President Joe Biden promised to restore protections for Bears Ears National Park.

He delivered.

This weekend Tribal leaders from the five Coalition Tribes (Pueblo of Zuni, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and Ute Indian Tribe ) signed a historic agreement with federal agencies. #IndigenousStewardship #BearsEarsRestored

Of all Cabinet nominees, Deb may be my favorite. She spoke out against destruction of native sites along the border and I bet she will do all she can to restore the environment and tear down that stupid wall, repair ecological destruction, restore #BearsEars #Escalante

It’s happening!! And @potus just gave me a shout out! #BearsEars

Something good. #BearsEars

Restoring protections to #SacredSites is real progress for #IndianCountry . #BearsEars

Interior Secretary #DebHaaland goes to #BearsEars in Utah & hikes with Governor & Senator Mitt Romney She will decide whether to return it to its former size as #FormerGuy decreased it by 85% Tourists & looters are still prevalent at the monument

Big congrats for a wonderful victory! #BearsEars

White House: President Biden will sign three proclamations restoring protections for Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monuments.

These national monuments were significantly cut back during the previous administration.
