Bears Ears should stay a National Monument because it protects the environment in the area. It stops all mining and oil drilling from destroying and contaminating the area. Also, it protects the Native American history from being vandalized, destroyed, and stolen. Having protection for this unique landscape also protects the wildlife in it. San Juan County is one of the poorest counties in Utah and this new monument will bring in more money. The monument stops oil and mining from destroying the land. No new oil and gas mining or exploration will be allowed in the protected area. It protects the wilderness from mining and fossil fuel exploration. That means that big name companies can't create or further any new oil and gas drilling developments (Standard-Examiner). A proposed uranium mine expansion lies just outside the monument's boundaries. Although many say it stops development which in turn stops money from coming in. There are other areas to …show more content…
Bears Ears range in elevation from 3,700 feet to more than 11,300 feet. Bordering features include the Colorado River on the west, the San Juan River and Navajo Nation on the south, and the White Mesa Ute Reservation on the East. A geographic area larger than the total acreage of all five of Utah's national parks combined means that there are plenty of different species that need protected. Such as fish, birds, and mammals. It will bring in more money for San Juan County, which is one of the poorest counties. San Juan County is one of the most economically depressed counties in the entire nation. More visitors are arriving and bringing in more money for the county. Bears Ears National Monument covers 1.35 million acres in San Juan County, thats more than 25% of San Juan county. Some in the county say they don't want the incoming people in the county. However, San Juan is the poorest county in Utah. Having more people come to Utah helps bring in more money for the
In 1961, Bear Butte became a South Dakota State Park. Putting the butte under the controll of the South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks department. Also, in 1965 Bear Butte became a National Landmark. The land surrounding the Sate Park, consists of mainly ranch land with a few tourist destinations. The Rosebud Sioux tribe owns 120 acres surrounding the State Park. The Northern Cheyenne also own property surrounding Bear Butte. Both the Rosebud and Cheyennes had to acquire the land through several transactions. Both tribes purchased the land to try and reconnect their people and culture back to the sacred butte. The town of Sturgis is located only 6 miles southwest. Sturgis and other nearby towns are the source for much of the controversies surrounding Bear Butte.
Providence Canyon is a historic plot of land that stretches for miles before our very eyes. It has many gorgeous views for days to come. Calling it a national park would mean that people would take seriously how important it is to keep it protected for years and years to come. People would appreciate how great this monument is if it were correctly maintained. Our children's children would bathe in awe of such a great attraction. After all, if a name like "Little Grand Canyon" does not cause seriousness to change the status of this park to a national one, then what does? Not only is this is a beautiful sight to see, it could also be good for the economy. As more and more people come from far and wide to see the canyon, more money would be pulled in to benefit the surrounding businesses which could potentially make the park a national one. This could mean the difference between being a national symbol of Georgia or continuing to be undermined as a state park.
One of the most legendary creatures of the northern hemisphere is the wolf. One of the most popular places to spot a wolf safely is Yellowstone national park. But, the wolf is one of the most feared creature as well therefore the wolf was starting to be killed and removed in the early 1800s from Yellowstone. By 1926 they were all gone from Yellowstone national park. then some wolf lovers decided to take a stand and make sure that wolves would be put back into the park because its apart of the culture of the wolves. Many rancher think this was a horrible idea because of their livestock. But it is a good idea because Yellowstone national park could potentially be saved because fo these beautiful creatures. It could also help the economy around the area. it would also help because it would give scientists an opportunity to study what happens when a preditor returns to the area.
Three new national monuments were recently created in Texas, Nevada and California by President Barack Obama. He created the monuments in order to preserve the beauty of the country though the Republicans condemned his act as a "surreptitious land grab."
Alright I'm bout to tell you about why there should not be park in Grand Canyon. All the wildlife there is very important to everyone who explores it not to get rid of all of the wildlife. People these days don´t care about things like that they just want to make money. I think people are plane stupid to get rid of all wildlife, then build park to make
That’s why it is the crown jewel of Mexico’s patrimony, for it is a reminder of where they came from and the struggle the nation had to go through to be in its place. Mexico, in the same manner as Teotihuacan “[was] erected among mute masses of Indians upon the bloodied arms of no more than a hundred apostles” (Marti) for that reason it stands as pillar of the hard work that once happened. It is a reminder that Mexico is a nation made out of hard work, sweat and blood. Giving away such a patrimony to the foreign, should not be accepted, for it would be a loss of a great part of the Mexican history. The government, who runs the nation should listen to Marti’s advice and “[rise] from the country. The spirit of the government must be the spirit of the country...The government is no more than an equilibrium among the country's natural elements” (ibid). The landscape receive no benefit or advantage from alienating the indigenous population. By embracing it, and allowing them to make it theirs again a compromise would be reached, in which authenticity would return to Teotihuacan, conservation efforts can grow, and tourism can continue to grow. The landscape has a lot to offer: tourism should be allowed at the site, yet without forgetting the indigenous population and the country of Mexico itself. This should not be a
White bears require a variety of physical characteristics to survive in the harsh environment of the Arctic. Large, wide paws with bumps allow them to distribute weight and grip more efficiently. Water resistant fur with a luminescent quality keep the bear warm and dry. Additionally, Sharp and powerful teeth have the ability to penetrate hard flesh. These special features allow not only the ability to thrive in a difficult environment, but also are important for communicating with other species and another bear.
However, past presidents have taken away and added acreage to monuments before because the Antiquities Act does not say the president cannot. Therefore, the president does have the power to modify current monuments or he can abolish a monument altogether (Seamon). In the past, when presidents have created a monument, they have set aside large portions of land to do this. However, the Antiquities Act was developed to set aside small areas of land and not protect entire landscapes (Seamon). Therefore, by the Take Care Clause in the constitution, the president must ensure that the Antiquities Act is carried out faithfully and not abused. An argument can be made that setting aside large areas is an abuse of the Antiquities Act. Furthermore, the Antiquities Act is not subject to the National Environmental Policy Act and, therefore, environmental concerns are not relevant (Seamon).
First, bears should not be removed because it’s their common territory and have lived there for most of their lives. In article 2 it states, “Denali National Park and preserve is home to both black bears and grizzly bears”(National Park Service n.p. ). Since, Denali is home to bears that means Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite National Park is both home to them. If we remove bears we’re taking their home away.
Kayle, your vocabulary is being extended as you learn all the different words to describe the sounds the different types of terrain made as we crossed it.
The Little Grand Canyon is so beautiful. I agree and support the Government's decision and should make the Little Grand Canyon a National Park. There are so many reasons why it should be a National Park, the reasons are tourism, What there is and how beautiful it will look, and education. The Little Grand Canyon is to explore and sea this beautiful creation. Tourism is one of the reason the Little Grand Canyon should be a national park. Money is something people will give to come explore the Little Grand Canyon. Then they can make the place better. It will be so more beautiful.
NW1.1 Preserve prime habitat. The US 97 Lava Butte would have earned this credit because they installed installed two different structures and fencing that protect wildlife. They built under crossings, that way wildlife can go under the high and avoid car collisions. They also hoped that the under crossings would help give migratory deer herd access to winter range. Alongside the under crossings, they built fencing in order to help guide the animals underneath the bridges, therefore making the under crossings effective. Not only did this project help wildlife, but it also helped revegetate the area around the project site. The Forest Service devised a plan to plant noninvasive, native plants. They also didn’t use irrigation after the plant
100 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada you can find the remnants of the abandoned Yucca Mountain nuclear waste site. The safety of storing waste at Yucca Mountain has been an ongoing debate not only for Indian tribes and local communities around the mountain, but a topic that has concerned many people in Nevada and Washington D.C. The topic itself is a very tricky one to grasp at this point because a quarter century after it was signed in to be the national nuclear waste site, there is still no real waste site; what is left is an empty site yet to be fully developed. In 2008 a number of states had their nuclear waste in reactors transported. The site was once used to store nuclear waste if only temporarily, but was shut down because of funding issues. Still,just because the site is abandoned does not mean Yucca Mountain could not still become a center for nuclear waste. Technically it is, by law, the national center for nuclear waste. So what exactly is the problem that Yucca still poses if it is a pending abandoned project? Since
An adult polar bear is called a (boar) and weighs around 772 pounds to 1,543 pounds and can be 7 ft 10 in. - 9 ft 10 in. in height, an adult female is called a (sow) and generally weighs about half the size of a boar and is 5 ft 11 in. – 7 ft 10 in. in height, these large animals have adapted not only for the cold temperatures but also for moving across the snow, ice and open water. Polar bears are insulated by 4in of adipose tissue also known as blubber, and their fur consists of 2 layers, the outer layer consists of guard hairs that are transparent but appear to be white to tan and the second layer consists of an extremely dense underfur. They have 42 teeth that reflect their highly carnivorous diet.
Obviously, there is much public concern over the project. One of the largest concerns is the possibility of seismic activity rupturing the tunnel and/or canisters. At present, the 104th US Congress, house Resolution 1924 proposed to make Hanford, Washington, the western US site for temporary storage, and it would be by default the permanent disposal place of spent nuclear fuel from US reactors. This resolution stemmed from a growing recognition that Yucca Mountains, in Nevada, is a less than brilliant location for this purpose. The US government has no fallback position should the project at Yucca Mountain fail. Yucca Mountain is not a sound solution for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel. The decision to site Yucca Mountain as a waste repository was based on politics, not science.
