Mining Claims Triple on Utah Lands Cut From Bears Ears Monument
New reporting shows uranium and other mining claims on lands near Bears Ears National Monument in Utah have tripled since the monument's boundaries were sharply reduced. Environmental groups say the surge confirms fears that shrinking the protected area would open sensitive tribal lands to extractive industry, while mining interests view the parcels as open for development.
Why now: The tripling of claims validates critics' warnings that cutting the monument would spur mining on the removed lands.
