Protect the Spectacular Wilderness of the Rio Grande
Target: Jeff Bingaman, SenatorSponsored by: Care2
America's wilderness is being degraded from oil drilling, and huge chunks of public land are being sold off to private interests, never to be enjoyed by the public again.
Americans need to do everything they can to preserve some of the last great places for wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation.
Luckily, there is still a chance to protect the legacy of the spectacular Rio Grande Gorge.
A proposed 303,000-acre national conservation area would protect the Gorge and nearby land from oil drilling. This range is critical to the survival of large numbers of elk, mule deer and other wildlife. Wild trout also need the clean Rio Grande water and uninterrupted habitat the designation would provide.
You can help keep public lands in public hands!
