亚利桑那州奇里卡瓦地区升格为美国第64个国家公园

位于亚利桑那州东南部的奇里卡瓦地区已正式成为美国第64个国家公园1。特朗普总统周二签署了这项获得两党支持的立法1，将这片面积19平方英里（49平方公里）的地区从国家纪念地提升为国家公园地位1。该地区因其标志性的火山岩塔林和丰富的阿帕奇文化遗产而闻名1。

这项立法在保护原住民文化权益方面做出了重要规定1。该法案明确保护了美国原住民部落进行传统仪式的权利，并允许为保护文化用途而实施临时公众管制措施1。奇里卡瓦地区自1924年被柯立芝总统根据《古迹法》指定为国家纪念地以来，已成为重要的文化和自然保护地，后经罗斯福于1938年进行了扩建1。该地区目前每年吸引约6万游客1。

内务部长道格·伯格姆评价称："奇里卡瓦的高耸岩塔、丰富的阿帕奇遗产和非凡的生物多样性使其成为美国最非凡的景观之一。"1亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利表示："这是东南亚利桑那州社区和所有致力于保护这个非凡地方的人的胜利。"1

Chiricahua, located in southeastern Arizona, has been elevated to the status of a national park following President Donald Trump's signing of bipartisan legislation on Tuesday 1. The 19-square-mile region, which was designated as a national monument in the 1920s and later expanded in 1938, is now the 64th national park in the United States 1.

The legislation protects tribal rights to conduct traditional ceremonies in the area while allowing for temporary public management to preserve cultural sites 1. The region, known for its distinctive volcanic rock towers and rich Apache cultural heritage, attracts approximately 60,000 visitors annually 1. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum described the area as "one of America's most remarkable landscapes" due to its "soaring rock pinnacles, rich Apache heritage, and extraordinary biodiversity" 1. Arizona Senator Mark Kelly called the designation "a victory for the southeastern Arizona community and all those who have worked to preserve this extraordinary place" 1.
