Author: teddygirl | Thursday June 26, 2008
The following is from Campaign for Americas Wilderness, an organization that is working to achieve lasting protection for threatened wild lands.
Wild...For How Long? Ten Treasures in Trouble, looks at ten special wild areas from coast to coast, vulnerable today to mining, drilling, roadbuilding, logging, development and off-road vehicle abuse. The report, issued by the Campaign for America's Wilderness, spotlights wild land at risk, but also those that are poised for wilderness designation, in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The report also celebrates some of the local heroes working to protect these places they love.
