Over one million acres of land outside of Grand Canyon National Park, which contain the largest uranium deposit in the United States, will be locked up to prevent resource development and livestock grazing.

In Episode 378 of District of Conservation, Gabriella focuses on two important stories from Arizona that have national relevance. These include the designation of the Baaj Nwaavjo I\u2019tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument and the delisting of the Apache trout\u2013 Arizona\u2019s state trout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
