President Biden is preparing to designate two new national monuments in California ahead of Donald Trump’s return to power. The Chuckwalla monument, located next to the Joshua Tree National Park between the Colorado River and Coachella Valley, would create the largest contiguous protected area in the U.S. Biden is reportedly also announcing protections for the Sáttítla National Monument in Northern California, near Oregon, which the Pit River Tribe has been fighting to shield from energy development.
