On Tuesday, March 21, at the Conservation in Action Summit in Washington, D.C., President Biden designated Avi Kwa Ame in southern Nevada and Castner Range in west Texas as national monuments! Together these two new monuments protect 513,486 acres and mark a significant step towards the Biden Administration meeting their America the Beautiful Initiative. The President also plans to initiate the process for expanding protections for the Pacific Remote Islands. You can watch the event here. 

Anna Peterson, Executive Director of The Mountain Pact, was invited to attend the Conservation Summit and was in attendance behind Senators Rosen, Cortez-Masto, and Representatives Titus, Lee, and Escobar! You can watch her video here.

The Mountain Pact sent out this media release on Tuesday which had quotes that were included in the White House’s What They are Saying wrap up.

THANK YOU ADs

We also ran a Mountain Pact ad in the Las Vegas Review Journal and Reno Gazette Journal on Sunday, March 26 thanking President Biden; Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen; and Representatives Titus and Lee for protecting and designating Avi Kwa Ame.
