More monuments? Enthusiasm and tensions

Posted: 15 Aug 2016 11:42 AM PDT

FILE - In this July 10, 2015, file photo, President Barack Obama, center, talks about the designation of three new national monuments; Berryessa Snow Mountain in California, Waco Mammoth in Texas, and the Basin and Range in Nevada, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. Behind him from left are Victor Knox, associate director of park planning, facilities and lands of the National Park Service; April Slayton, chief of public affairs and chief spokesperson of the National Park Service; Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell; U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell; Randy Moore, Forest Service; and Bureau of Land Management director Neil Kornze. The race is on to win Obama's attention as he puts some final touches on his environmental legacy. Conservation groups, American Indian tribes and lawmakers are pushing him to preserve millions of acres as national monuments. That designation often prevents new drilling and mining on public lands, or the construction of new roads and utility lines. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)Efforts are underway to convince President Obama to designate additional national monuments in his remaining days in office.
