Over half a million acres within the triangulated borderlands of California, Nevada and Arizona have become a national monument for preservation and protection from development. About 15 miles from the California border, the new monument links with the Mojave Desert to further expand the largest concentration of Joshua trees in the world. Last week during the White House Conservation in Action Summit, President Joe Biden designated Avi Kwa Ame in Nevada (which translates to “Spirit Mountain” in Mojave) as the state’s newest national monument. It joins Nevada's three other monuments: Basin and Range, Gold Butte, and Tule Springs. The designation encompasses 506,814 acres, including Ava Kwa Ame, which rises 5,963 feet.
