Celebrate New Wilderness Protections in the Western U.S.

We applaud the Biden administration and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland for announcing critical new wilderness protections for cherished natural areas in the Western United States.

The proposed 20-year mining protections for Nevada’s Ruby Mountains preserve the region’s breathtaking landscapes, cultural heritage, and wildlife while supporting a thriving outdoor recreation economy. These protections reflect a thoughtful approach to ensuring the area’s beauty and biodiversity are safeguarded for generations to come.

Additionally, the permanent protections and land acquisition in Grand Teton National Park mark a historic achievement for conservation. The $100 million purchase of a vital 640-acre parcel secures a key migration corridor for the pronghorn and enhances the park’s iconic landscapes and wildlife.

These actions underscore the importance of prioritizing the environment and ensuring America’s natural treasures remain protected. We urge all Americans to support these measures and advocate for their preservation as we face ongoing challenges in protecting our environment.

Sign this petition to thank the Biden administration for championing these vital protections and to show your support for preserving our nation’s wilderness!
