Embark on an awe-inspiring journey across the American West in this sneak peek of the Mobilizing for Monuments Road Trip Film, launching on April 18.

The film follows The Conservation Alliance, Flickr, Rivian, and Nuestra Tierra Conservation Project on a week-long road trip (November 7-13, 2023) from Colorado to California to share the stories of tribal leaders, conservation non-profits, politicians, and business leaders advocating for the protection of public lands in their backyards. The stories underscore the importance of national monuments for the environment and economy and call for the protection of three million acres of land.

The road trip included five recently designated or proposed national monuments:

-Proposed Dolores River Canyon Country National Monument and National Conservation Area in Colorado

-Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument in Arizona

-Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in Nevada

-Proposed Chuckwalla National Monument in California

-Proposed expansion of San Gabriel Mountains National Monument in California
