I have been to this area and it deserves protection for the unique plant life, animal life, and spiritual connection the land encompasses.

My name is Christina Sanchez, I am a desert ecologist, naturalists and educator. I support the designation of the Avi Kwa Ame National Monument for the conservation of indigenous land, flora and fauna which include species like the threatened desert tortoise which occurs in the Joshua Tree Woodlands. A habitat that is crucial for protection for the recovery and continued existence of this species. In this area that is being proposed as a national monument lies a large track of undisturbed, undeveloped land that is being sought by renewable energy, this land is critical to the desert tortoise, scraping of the land will impact the desert tortoise which will add to the decline of the species. Renewable energy can be approacheed in a way that will not encroach and impact native fauna and flora. This area is considered sacred amongst First Peoples which include the Mojave, Hualapai, Yavapai, Havasupai, Quechan, Maricopa, Pai Pai, and Kumeyaay. Their native lands have been stripped from them through colonization, please act and dedicate this land as a national monument to ensure protection of their sacred homeland. Thank you
