Quoth CNN: "President Joe Biden on Tuesday designated the fifth national monument of his presidency and unveiled new climate resilience funding for national parks during a visit to lands surrounding one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon.

"Today I'm proud to use my authority under the Antiquities Act to protect almost one million acres of land around Grand Canyon National Park as a new national monument – to help right the wrongs of the past and conserve this land … for all future generations," Biden told the media on Tuesday during a trip to the battleground state, where he proudly announced he was establishing the Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.
