Trump ordered it reduced, but there have since been lawsuits started by a couple different organizations because he did not have the authority to shrink the monuments. Biden has initiated a review of the rollbacks and hopefully the environment will win. Posted 4 years ago

  My hopes too, I did write to Donald about Bear's Ears and GSE but he ignored me. All that coal should stay there! It's a glorious landscape. Biden should get it right. Posted 4 years ago
