That’s correct. President Joe Biden is planning to expand two national monuments — Carrizo Plain and California Coastal — in California that were initially designated by former President Barack Obama. This move demonstrates his administration’s commitment to conservation and climate action. Biden’s expansion would protect these areas, full of unique ecosystems and rich biodiversity, from potential damage due to oil drilling and other development. The initiative aligns with Biden’s goal of conserving 30% of all U.S. land by 2030.
