Click an image to enlarge ![](/res/layout/magnifyingglass.png?i*mb=999999) In 2017, President Trump issued an order abolishing two of our most cherished
public lands: Utah’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monuments, potentially exposing 2 million acres of unique wilderness, and 10's of thousands of native cultural sites to drilling and mining. I created this gallery to highlight some of the beautiful historical and natural resources that are now endangered by losing protection as National Monuments. I promise to donate 25% of all sales from this gallery to Utah Diné Bikéyah and the Natural Resources Defense Council to support legal challenges in defense of these unique areas.
