BEARS EARS: We hiked the National Monument that Trump slashed
Hank Leukart and his friend Jake discover a political battle in remote Utah after heading out on a hiking and packrafting trip in Bears Ears National Monument, a wilderness area designated by President Barack Obama, but later slashed 85% by President Donald Trump.
Since this was made, President Trump reduced Bears Ears by over one million acres (85%), in the largest rollback of protected land in US history, in December 2017. The Valley of the Gods, Honaker Trail, and Slickhorn Canyon were removed from the Monument. Five Native American tribes, the Utah Diné Bikéyah nonprofit, and the Natural Resources Defense Council have all sued Trump in federal court. For now, the fate of Bears Ears and The Antiquities Act is unknown.
Best Adventure Film winner at the 2018 Lookout Wild Film Festival. Official selection at the 2018 Maine Outdoor Film Festival.
FURTHER READING:
Recent New York Times and Washington Post reporting revealed that energy industry lobbying for Bears Ears uranium mining (by Energy Fuels Resources) and oil and gas extraction were the primary reasons President Trump decided to roll back the Monument.
