Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument borders Grand Canyon National Park and includes over one million acres of public land.  The area contains mountains, deep canyons, and a portion of the Shivwits Plateau.  It provides habitat for bighorn sheep, raptors and migratory birds, and pronghorn, among many other birds, mammals, and reptiles.  The biggest threats to this area are potential mineral development, especially uranium mining.
