Cultural foundation lists Antiquities Act as most 'at-risk' site

Recent moves by the Trump administration and Congress to shrink the size of presidentially designated national monuments has placed the Antiquities Act at risk of being significantly weakened, according to a report today from a nonprofit group that works to promote and protect culturally important sites.

While the Cultural Landscape Foundation's annual report listing "nationally significant landscapes threatened and at-risk" includes several urban parks, a California canyon and the James River in Virginia, the Antiquities Act tops the list.
