Grand Staircase-Escalante (...) will be split into three sections and shrunk from 1.9 million acres to about 1 million. Shrinking the monuments opens the land up for oil and natural gas extraction. Trump said his decision was made to “reverse federal overreach and restore the rights of this land to you citizens.” A group of Native American tribes, conservation groups and others filed suits against the Trump administration over the proclamations.” Source: https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/30/politics/environmental-policy-moments-2017/index.html You have been hired to conduct a study assessing and monetizing the loss of social benefits resulting from the shrinking of these two national monuments.
