The situation
The backyard wilderness for 18 million people. The San Gabriels provide drinking water, clean air, and the only accessible wildlands for some of the most underserved communities in Los Angeles County. Reducing this monument would be an environmental justice catastrophe for communities that have nowhere else to go.
