Protect Our Public Lands Legacy
New Mexico’s public lands are the backdrop of many of our traditions and most treasured memories, and they sustain ecosystems that are essential to human and animal communities. However, these cherished places are under unprecedented threat from a coordinated, national campaign where counties are quietly adopting identical resolutions that challenge federal land protections and lay the groundwork for the transfer or privatization of our public lands.
The stakes could not be higher. Losing public lands means losing accessible natural spaces, critical wildlife habitat, cultural sites, clean water, and a sustainable outdoor economy. This is not a partisan issue—public lands unite us.
Protect Chaco Canyon
The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the 20-year, 10-mile protection zone around Chaco Canyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and living cultural landscape. The current protections were established after extensive public input and protect thousands of irreplaceable archaeological sites, public health, and dark skies from new oil and gas leasing on federal lands. Tell the federal administration not to prioritize industrial development over the preservation of our shared heritage.
Hands Off Our National Monuments
Join us in deterring the current administration from any attempts to reduce protections for New Mexico’s national monuments—specifically Rio Grande del Norte, Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks, and Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks. Our national monuments are part of our shared inheritance, not resources to be exploited by industry. We’re sending a loud message that any action to diminish these lands will be met with unified and powerful opposition through every available means.
Wolves Belong!
Federal permits are now allowing ranchers to kill endangered Mexican gray wolves seen within certain grazing allotments on public land — including potentially rare and genetically valuable individuals. Today’s wild wolf population descends from just 7 individuals and has already lost more than two-thirds of its original genetic diversity. Every breeding adult matters. Broad lethal permits, issued without verified evidence of predation or required nonlethal deterrence, risk unraveling decades of hard-won recovery. Submit a public comment opposing these permits. After you submit, request your free Wolves Belong sticker as a thank you for taking action!
Wolves Deserve Protection Not Persecution
Help urge Governor Lujan Grisham to reject a “state of emergency” declared by several counties over the Mexican gray wolf population. This misinformation campaign threatens the species’ recovery while the real emergency persists: the anti-wolf sentiment itself. Join us in asking the Governor to instead support science-based management, continued funding, and full legal protections to prevent the extinction of North America’s rarest gray wolf.
Protect Caja del Rio
Caja del Rio is an ecologically and culturally rich landscape near Santa Fe that faces threats from illegal activities and large-scale development. Your support will help preserve wildlife corridors, protect cultural sites, and ensure proper stewardship of this diverse area for future generations.
No Tererro Mine
An Australian mining company is seeking to conduct exploratory drilling for a new mine in the Santa Fe National Forest, just a few miles from the pristine Pecos Wilderness and River. This area is still suffering from a devastating, century-old mining disaster that proved the long-term ecological and economic damage such operations cause. Please join us in urging our officials to prevent another reckless mining operation that threatens to contaminate the Pecos River and outdoor economy.
Steve Pearce for BLM Director? That’s a No From New Mexico
President Trump has nominated former New Mexico Congressman Steve Pearce to be the Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM manages 245 million acres of public land, including over 13 million acres in New Mexico. Pearce is supremely unqualified to hold the position of BLM Director. He has a record of attacks on public lands. If the Senate confirms Pearce’s nomination, New Mexico’s public lands, including places like Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument and Chaco Canyon, will be at significant risk.
