Enchanted wildlands
It’s no wonder New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment. With some of the West’s most unique wild places and culturally significant lands, the state offers endlessly intriguing experiences. From the scenic vistas of Cerro de la Olla to the rugged mountains of the Gila, to the sacred lands surrounding Chaco Canyon, so much is worth protecting.
Yet so much in New Mexico is at risk. Oil and gas development in the Four Corners region is not only threatening the globally-significant cultural resources of the greater Chaco Canyon area, but also the health and safety of nearby communities. Extractive logging and other development threatens national forests from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the Gila.
Working to ensure public lands managers make decisions with conservation in mind will help keep these spectacular lands protected.
