  • President Biden will visit Coachella Valley on Tuesday to announce the establishment of two new national monuments in California.
  • The new sites, Chuckwalla National Monument and Sáttítla National Monument, will protect over 848,000 acres from drilling and energy development.
  • This initiative is part of Biden's final environmental proclamations, having already prohibited oil and gas drilling in over 600 million acres of U.S. waters.
  • With this move, Biden has secured over 674 million acres of public lands and waters, marking a record for any president.
  • The administration's actions include establishing wildlife corridors along the Colorado River and expanding existing monuments of cultural significance to Native American tribes.
