The Great Bend of the Gila, with its flowing Gila River, rugged mountain peaks, and ancient geoglyphs, is an irreplaceable gem in southwestern Arizona. This extraordinary landscape deserves our protection, and with your help, we can make it happen.
This Monument Monday, we're calling on President Biden to designate the Great Bend of the Gila as a national monument. By signing our petition, you can help push for the preservation of this remarkable cultural and historical site now and for future generations.
Designating the Great Bend of the Gila as a national monument will protect over 80,000 acres of land sacred to several Arizona-based tribes. It will also safeguard the ancient rock art and geoglyphs that grace the river, cliffs, and valley floor from looting and vandalism.
Many iconic public lands, including the Grand Canyon and Arches National Parks, were first protected through the Antiquities Act. Adding your voice can help secure a legacy for the Great Bend of the Gila.
Send your message to President Biden today and help preserve this rich landscape for generations to come.
Thank you for standing with us to protect the Great Bend of the Gila.
Yours in conservation,
