Dear ,

Eight years from now, in 2030, I hope we all live in a country where
at least 30% of our lands and waters are protected by law. If we can
accomplish that, not only would our land and water benefit, but also
our climate, wildlife, and our public health.

Part of protecting our lands and waters includes designating more
monuments and park sites, like Avi Kwa Ame. This sacred place is a
rare, intact stretch of the East Mojave Desert between Mojave National
Preserve in California and Lake Mead National Recreation Area in
Nevada. Despite its spiritual and cultural significance, it is not yet
a national monument-we can change that.

Designating new national monuments is one of the most powerful ways
that the administration can make real progress toward their goal of
protecting 30% of our lands and waters by 2030. Urge the Department of
Interior to move immediately to make Avi Kwa Ame a monument for all.

Avi Kwa Ame is part of a corridor that provides critical habitat for
countless desert species, including threatened desert tortoises and
migratory birds. Permanently protecting these lands as a national
monument will provide the resources native plants and wildlife will
need to adapt to a changing climate.

Please urge the Department of Interior to protect Avi Kwa Ame and
other vulnerable areas as national monuments across the country.

Thank you for protecting our lands, water, and climate,

Neal Desai
