Help save millions of acres of intact wildlife habitat

The Owyhee region has robust, diverse wildlife populations but hunters and anglers fear that if this region isn’t protected soon, threats from mining, unmanaged recreation, and energy development will accelerate and forever alter one of America’s largest intact landscapes.

Tell the Biden administration that you support designating the Owyhee Canyonlands as a national monument to protect big game habitat and sporting traditions.

Dear President Biden,

The Owyhee Canyonlands are a vast, remote land of austere deserts and deep volcanic canyons located in Southeast Oregon. Spanning several million acres, over two million of which have no roads, the Owyhee is one of the most remote and intact landscapes in the U.S. It also contains abundant habitat for mule deer, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, and sage grouse. I am urging you to protect and safeguard this irreplaceable landscape by designating it as a national monument.

Conserving the Owyhee offers a chance to retain and protect numerous important wildlife species, unique plant species, some of the darkest night skies in the U.S., and to maintain and restore connectivity between several ecosystems.
 
Anchored by the Owyhee River and the numerous creeks in its 11,000 square mile watershed, the desert, and prominent mountain high points, the unique geography offers numerous ecological niches, stunning vistas and ample opportunities for solitude.

The Owyhee Canyonlands are a one of a kind landscape offering unparalleled conservation opportunities seldom found in our modern world. It is worthy of our nation’s highest protective status. Please designate the Owyhee Canyonlands as a national monument.

Sincerely,
