The move follows calls from tribal nations, Indigenous community leaders and others for the permanent protection of nearly 120,000 acres of important cultural and environmental land.
The expansion will include approximately 13,696 additional acres of federally owned public land in Lake and Colusa Counties in California, encompassing the entirety of the Molok Luyuk region within the monument.
There are three more proposals, including the Chuckwalla Mountains, to add to California's national monuments. Biden should act on them before his first term is up.
