SEC. 2. TULE SPRINGS FOSSIL BEDS NATIONAL MONUMENT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) since 1933, the Upper Las Vegas Wash has been valued by 
        scientists because of the significant paleontological fossils 
        demonstrative of the Pleistocene Ice Age that are located in 
        the area;
            (2) in 2004, during the preparation of the Las Vegas Valley 
        Disposal Boundary Final Environmental Impact Statement, the 
        Bureau of Land Management identified sensitive biological, 
        cultural, and paleontological resources determined to be worthy 
        of more evaluation with respect to the protective status of the 
        resources;
            (3) the Upper Las Vegas Wash contains thousands of 
        Pleistocene mammal fossils of national importance, including 
        Columbian mammoth, ground sloth, American lion, camels, and 
        horse fossils;
            (4) in addition to Joshua trees and several species of 
        cacti, the Las Vegas buckwheat, Merriam's bearpoppy, Las Vegas 
        bearpoppy, and the halfring milkvetch are 4 unique and 
        imperiled plants that are supported in the harsh desert 
        environment of Tule Springs;
            (5) the area provides important habitat for threatened 
        desert tortoise, endemic poppy bees, kit foxes, burrowing owls, 
        phainopepla, and a variety of reptiles;
            (6) in 2010, a National Park Service reconnaissance survey 
        of the area determined that the area likely contains the 
        longest continuous section of Pleistocene strata in the desert 
        southwest, which span multiple important global climate cooling 
        and warming episodes;
            (7) the Upper Las Vegas Wash is significant to the culture 
        and history of the native and indigenous people of the area, 
        including the Southern Paiute Tribe;
            (8) despite the findings of the studies and recommendations 
        for further assessment of the resources for appropriate methods 
        of protection--
                    (A) the area remains inadequately protected; and
                    (B) many irreplaceable fossil specimens in the area 
                have been lost to vandalism or theft; and
            (9) designation of the Upper Las Vegas Wash site as a 
        National Monument would protect the unique fossil resources of 
        the area for present and future generations while allowing for 
        public education and continued scientific research 
        opportunities.
