Environmental & Resource Economics.

National monuments are lands that are protected from development by law. They are roughly analogous to national parks, but while national parks are created by Congress, national monuments are created by presidents through the Antiquities Act. Each monument has its own specific restrictions. At Bears Ears in Utah, for example, federal rules forbid new mining and drilling, but allow the interior department to continue to issue cattle grazing leases. The Trump administration shrank Bears Ears National Monument, a sprawling region of red rock canyons, by 85 percent, and cut another monument, Grand Staircase-Escalante, to about half its current size. The decision to reduce Bears Ears is expected to set off a legal battle that could alter the course of American land conservation, putting dozens of other monuments at risk and possibly opening millions of preserved public acres to oil and gas extraction, mining, logging and other commercial activities. According to the video on land conservation in the UK, what specific actions might offset the Trump's administration policies?
