The new new Congress has launched it's anti-environment agenda with a 'no more National Parks’ bill.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Don Young (R-AK), would amend the 1906 Antiquities Act to effectively block the President from designating any new national monuments without congressional approval and an extensive environmental review. Additionally, the bill would require the President to seek approval from nearby state governments for marine monument proposals.
