Our Goals

• Protect our public lands from polluters, development, excessive recreational pressures, and mining. Work with Tribal Nations to ensure that sacred lands are safeguarded.
• Keep national monuments, including Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni and Ironwood Forests intact, keep these lands protected from mining interests.
• Ensure that forests are properly managed to protect remaining old growth habitat and to restore natural processes. Keep unroaded areas from being developed and fragmented.
• Protect large areas of and connectivity between undeveloped public lands in order to ensure resilient habitat for native plants and wildlife to better address the impacts of climate change.
• Limit impacts of mining, stop destructive mines such as Resolution Copper and Copper World, and hold mining companies accountable for impacts of Pinyon Plain Mine and other uranium mines. Reform outdated mining laws to put cultural and natural resource protection ahead of mining as priorities.
• Make conservation a top priority for lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
