	U.S. National Monument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another difference between a national monument and national park is the amount of diversity in what is being protected; national monuments aim to preserve at least one unique resource but do not have the amount of diversity of a national park (which are supposed to protect a host of unique features).
		A U.S. National Monument is a protected area of the United States that is similar to a national park (specifically a U.S. National Park) except that the President of the United States can quickly declare an area of the United States to be a national monument without Congressional approval.
		National monuments are managed by the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service or by the Bureau of Land Management.
