President Biden designates Chuckwalla and Sáttítla monuments
More nature in California is good for wildlife, people and the climate

President Biden designated two national monuments in California on January 7, safeguarding more than 800,000 acres of federal land.
The Chuckwalla National Monument was proposed by a local coalition in the Coachella Valley and tribal leaders. This designation creates a continuous wildlife corridor stretching 624,000 acres from the Sonoran Desert in southern California to the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona, protecting critical desert areas where species can migrate, hunt and mate.

The Sáttítla Highlands National Monument, near the Oregon border, was proposed by the Pit River River Tribe and encompasses nearly 225,000 acres of forested land and an important source of clean water in northeastern California.
