Federal land sell-offs and logging deregulation threaten ecosystems Idahoans have hunted, fished, and hiked for generations. #NoKings #Idaho #PublicLands

The Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante monuments were gutted under Trump's first term. Now federal land sell-offs are back on the table.

Utah's red rock wilderness does not belong to developers. #NoKings #Utah #PublicLands

ANWR. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Oil companies have been trying to drill it for 40 years. Federal protections have held.

Those protections are now being stripped. Alaska's Indigenous communities never consented to this. #NoKings #Alaska #ANWR #PublicLands

The Time Is Ripening For a New Conservation President Exactly halfway between the nation's founding in 1776 and its 250th anniversary this year, a visionary president stepped up and protected 230 million acres of public lands and waters

Trivia question: Do you know who became president in the year the United States celebrated its 125th anniversary?

Answer: Theodore Roosevelt.

There’s something almost eerie about the symmetry between then and now.

Some of Trump's changes to #publiclands go into effect this month and could roll back protections on almost 60% of national forests. He is particularly targeting the west coast.

John Wesley Powell Warned About It, Now the West Faces Historic Water Problems After exploring the Colorado River and the arid West, Powell advocated for responsible water management. No one listened.

Born on March 24, 1834, John Wesley Powell is best known for being the one-armed explorer who surveyed the canyons of the Colorado and Green rivers. But he was also a passionate advocate for responsible water management in the West, advice that almost no one listened to.
