<td><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica; font-size:16px; color:#444444">Dear Ann,<br>
<br>
Our national monuments belong to every American. They span our nation, from rugged mountain peaks, through pristine forests, across vast, rich deserts rich in wildlife, and oceans painted with a spectrum of underwater life.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/R?i=QqGD4rAhxx55iJ60_KpvSg" target="_blank" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,'Open Sans'; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold; color:#006ea5; text-decoration:underline">These lands and waters are as much of a part
of our nation's fabric as the great halls of Congress.</a><br>
<br>
Currently, 27 national monuments—including the newly designated Bear's Ears National Monument in Utah, and California's Giant Sequoia National Monument—are up for review under an executive order from President Trump.<br>
<br>
In addition to examining their continued designation as national monuments, <strong>
the review will also take into consideration whether these precious protected areas can be exploited for activities such as drilling, logging, and mining.</strong><br>
<br>
<strong><span style="background-color:#FFEE00">To date, no president in our nation’s history has rescinded a national monument designation. This unprecedented action would not only degrade lands cherished by generations of North Americans, but for the wildlife
that calls them home as well.</span></strong><br>
<br>
Many of our national monuments have earned their designation due to their irreplaceable, unique nature.
<a href="http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/R?i=qgd4NwCjbdId82VRnxZc1g" target="_blank" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,'Open Sans'; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold; color:#006ea5; text-decoration:underline">
To open these lands up for exploitation could spell disaster for countless species such as the endangered kit fox and California condor that depend on them for their continued survival.</a><br>
<br>
At this critical moment in the history of our nation’s national monuments, <a href="http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/R?i=EnFVo4hWs1U4uOZODMhWnw" target="_blank" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,'Open Sans'; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold; color:#006ea5; text-decoration:underline">
we should continue the protection of the lands under review, and reject any changes to their current levels of protection.</a><br>
<br>
These lands and waters represent so much more than wildlife habitat: They provide clean air, recreational areas for hunting, hiking, and fishing, and economic benefits for neighboring communities. They are a vital link to the foundation of our nation that existed
long before the drafting of the Constitution.<br>
<br>
Sincerely, <br>
<br>
