The Grand Canyon watershed, north and south of the Grand Canyon, provides water and habitat for native plants and animals such as mountain lions, Ponderosa pine, mule deer, blue and black grama, and California condors. The natural beauty of the region deserves national monument status and protection from mining, logging, and water pollution. In 2013, 4.5 million visitors spent nearly a half a billion dollars in the region, supporting more than 6,000 local jobs. Further protection of this national treasure is vital to Arizona and the greater United States and will guarantee future generations of Americans will be able to enjoy this natural splendor.
