Tell President Obama to designate Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument

Tell President Obama to designate the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument as America’s next national monument.

Why is this important?

The Grand Canyon watershed is home to a unique array of native wildlife, hundreds of creeks and springs that millions of people rely on for drinking water, and thousands of acres of ancient forest — including the Southwest’s largest unprotected old-growth ponderosa pine forest.

Tribes in the area, especially the Navajo Nation, Havasupai, Hualapai, and Hopi, have come together to help protect a region that is sacred. Right now, this natural and cultural treasure faces threats from many fronts — from unsafe uranium mining to devastating logging practices. There’s only one way to preserve the sanctity of these 1.7 million acres for generations to come: name it as a national monument.

Tell President Obama to protect these important lands and designate the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument.
