Federal agencies have been given six months to outline how they can develop or restore and protect ecological corridors, including those relied upon by wildlife during their migrations.


Under a memorandum from the chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the agencies have been tasked with maintaining such corridors by "developing policies, through regulations, guidance, or other means, to consider how to conserve, enhance, protect, and restore corridors and connectivity during planning and decision-making, and to encourage collaborative processes across management and ownership boundaries."

President Joe Biden signed proclamations establishing Castner Range in El Paso, Texas, and Avi Kwa Ame in southern Nevada as national monuments.


"The people of El Paso have fought to protect it for 50 years. Their work paid off," Biden said Tuesday about Castner Range. "Now, it'll be preserved for future generations."

WASHINGTON — President Biden on Tuesday will designate two new national monuments in the Southwest, insulating from development a half million acres in Nevada that are revered by Native Americans and 6,600 acres in Texas that were once admired by the writer Jack Kerouac.


In southern Nevada, Mr. Biden will protect a large portion of the Spirit Mountain area, encompassing some of the most biologically diverse and culturally significant lands in the Mojave Desert. Near El Paso, Texas, he will establish the Castner Range National Monument on a former artillery range along rugged canyons and arroyos that rise out of the desert near the Franklin Mountains.
