\"\"In a presidency that becomes more absurd with each day, the Trump administration is now moving to review all of the United State’s National Monuments and Patagonia’s<\/strong> CEO Rose Marcario<\/strong> doesn’t like it one bit. She says:<\/p>\n

Our National Monuments were established after extensive public input because they provide unique and irreplaceable cultural, ecological, economic and recreational value worth protecting for our children and our grandchildren. As stewards of America\u2019s federal public lands, the Trump administration has an obligation to protect these most special wild places. Unfortunately, it seems clear they intend to do the opposite.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a statement released today (Wednesday, April 26, 2017) Marcario urges everyone who loves America’s public lands to contact their members of Congress and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke<\/strong> to “express outrage at the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to roll back National Monument protections.” For the official statement from Marcario, please follow the jump.<\/p>\n

Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario Releases Statement on Trump National Monuments Executive Order<\/p>\n

Ventura, Calif. (April 26, 2017) \u2013 Less than 24 hours after joining with our industry to celebrate the economic power of outdoor recreation, in a hypocritical move, the Trump administration took unprecedented steps that could result in the removal of protections for treasured public lands. We take this as a sign that Trump and his team prefer to cater to fossil fuel interests and state land grabs for unsustainable development, rather than preserve a vital part of our nation\u2019s heritage for future generations by protecting federal lands owned by every citizen.<\/p>\n

Our National Monuments were established after extensive public input because they provide unique and irreplaceable cultural, ecological, economic and recreational value worth protecting for our children and our grandchildren. As stewards of America\u2019s federal public lands, the Trump administration has an obligation to protect these most special wild places. Unfortunately, it seems clear they intend to do the opposite.<\/p>\n

A president does not have the authority to rescind a National Monument. An attempt to change the boundaries ignores the review process of cultural and historical characteristics and the public input. We\u2019re watching the Trump administration\u2019s actions very closely and preparing to take every step necessary, including legal action, to defend our most treasured public landscapes from coast to coast.<\/p>\n

I urge everyone who loves America\u2019s public lands and supports the continued protection of National Monuments to contact their members of Congress and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to express outrage at the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to roll back National Monument protections. Make sure your voice is heard by making phone calls, showing up at town hall meetings and visiting legislators\u2019 offices in the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
