The Trump administration is moving forward with plans to extract oil and gas near United Nations-designated historic sites, despite pleas from the international organization.<\/p>

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) told the Guardian that it had learned the administration intended to permit extraction within a drilling-free buffer zone that had previously been put in place to protect New Mexico\u2019s Chaco Culture National Historical Park.

\u201cThe world heritage committee has consistently considered extractive activities to be incompatible with world heritage status,\u201d UNESCO told the Guardian, adding that the UN agency is considering the implications of procedures established to protect world heritage property from \u201cpotential threats,\u201d pending a response from the administration.<\/p>

UNESCO also said that drilling at the site could have adverse effects, and that appropriate assessments are taken before any decisions are made around the site to ensure that it does not \u201cadversely affect [the site\u2019s] outstanding universal value.\u201d<\/p>

The park, a world heritage site, holds the remains of the Ancestral Puebloans, who constructed the dwellings more than a millennium ago, and is currently viewed as a valuable cultural and religious site by more than two dozen tribes.<\/p>

In 2023, Biden\u2019s Department of the Interior created a mining buffer zone around nearly 336,400 acres of federal public land surrounding the park, protecting federal land within approximately 10 miles of the park from new mining leases and claims for 20 years, the Museum of Indigenous People said.<\/p>

UNESCO is not alone in protesting the decision. New Mexico\u2019s Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Luj\u00e1n have also called out the administration, with Grisham saying that the department\u2019s 14 days of public input was not enough for \u201ca decision this consequential.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThis land is sacred to 20 Pueblo Nations,\u201d the governor said. \u201cIt is not a bargaining chip for oil and gas leases.\u201d<\/p>

The Department of the Interior did not respond to the Daily Caller\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>
