U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday will create two new national monuments, in Nevada and Texas, and launch an effort to consider expanding protections for all waters around remote Pacific islands southwest of Hawaii.
The moves, which will be announced at a White House summit on conservation, are aimed at delivering on Biden's goal to conserve at least 30% of federal lands and waters by 2030.
Biden will also name Castner Range in El Paso, Texas as a national monument. Castner is a former training and testing location for the U.S. Army and has more than 40 known archeological sites with pottery remnants, petroglyghs and living structures. Biden will also direct the Commerce Secretary to consider initiating a new marine sanctuary designation for all U.S. waters around the Pacific Remote Islands.
