URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Approve Tribal co-management plan to PROTECT Bears Ears National Monument! URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Approve Tribal co-management plan to PROTECT Bears Ears National Monument! >> Bears Ears in Southern Utah was the first-ever national monument ever proposed by Tribal Nations. Now, with your help, we can approve the Bureau of Land Management’s proposed plan to uphold Tribal sovereignty, connection, and knowledge of their ancestral lands. Directly involving Indigenous communities in Bears Ears management brings time-tested stewardship best practices, passed down over centuries. It’s the best plan to protect Bears Ears’ cultural sites and wildlife. The Bureau of Land Management is accepting comments – but the DEADLINE is fast approaching! [Please, Friend, support Tribal Nations and their right to help manage and protect Bears Ears National Monument! >>]( [Sign Now]( Bears Ears National Monument is home to ancient rock paintings, cliff dwellings, and Indigenous ceremonial sites – and of course two towering stones creating the image of a bear’s ears poking out over the horizon. Containing such special treasures, it’s that much more important to have a solid management plan that involves Indigenous communities. Think of the precedent we could set, Friend. This management plan could open the doors for more Tribal collaboration on our public lands: invaluable, generational knowledge!
