Our story

Our story

85% of the largest acreage of U.S. public lands – managed by the Bureau of Land Management – is currently available for mining and development.

The U.S. needs to protect millions more acres as National Conservation Lands to ensure a healthy and prosperous future for all.

We and our Friends Grassroots Network of more than 80 community-based organizations are working to protect at-risk landscapes across the western U.S.

There is broad and growing support for the Bureau of Land Management to implement an ambitious conservation vision in order to meet the needs of the 21st century. Join our movement to chart a new course for the future of public lands.

Monuments For all

Monuments For all

National monuments can help honor the historical, cultural, and natural stories of our country. We work to defend national monument protections and ensure these landscapes have strong conservation-focused management plans. Through our Monuments for All campaign, we strengthen public demand and policymaker support for current and new national monuments.

Why It Matters

Nature and biodiversity are declining at record rates in the U.S. If we don’t stop the decline, we’ll lose vital sources of clean air and water, diverse plants and wildlife, sacred and cultural sites, recreational opportunities, and critical drivers of local economies.
