Proposed bills by US Rep. Raul Ruiz and Sen. Alex Padilla aim to create the Chuckwalla National Monument and expand Joshua Tree National Park in California. The proposed legislation aims to protect parts of Riverside and Imperial counties, including the Chuckwalla Valley, Chuckwalla Mountains, and Mecca Hills, and is supported by local tribes, businesses, communities, and conservation groups. The designations would contribute to the nation's America the Beautiful initiative, which aims to conserve 30% of American natural landscapes by 2030.
