US EditionBiden moves to ban oil drilling, mining on New Mexico tribal land
- The Biden administration has proposed a plan to protect Native American lands in northern New Mexico by prohibiting new oil drilling and mining on over 4,200 acres of land. The proposal, which could last for up to 50 years, aims to safeguard the scenic integrity, cultural importance, recreational values, and wildlife habitat connectivity of the region.
- The Pueblo tribes of San Felipe and Santa Ana have advocated for these protections, as the area contains significant archeological resources. Additionally, the community and tribal citizens have been experiencing pollution from the existing mines in the region. The proposal aims to address these concerns and preserve the important cultural and natural resources of the area.
- This proposal is part of the Biden administration's broader efforts to restrict future oil, gas, and mining activities on public lands. They have previously designated areas outside the Grand Canyon as a monument and banned future oil activity on a large portion of Colorado land.
