Trump administration moves to gut protections for lands around
Chaco Canyon
In the latest attempt to give away our public lands to the oil
and gas industry, the Trump administration has begun revoking
protections for sacred lands around New Mexico’s Chaco Culture
National Historical Park.
The administration will be accepting public comments about their
disastrous plan, but only for a few days. Make your voice heard
right away.

Dear NRDC Activist,
Sacred ancestral landscapes... National
Historical Park… UNESCO World Heritage Site… International Dark
Sky Park… Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico is iconic, but
the Trump administration just wants to open it up to dirty oil
and gas drilling.
WHAT’S HAPPENING
The Trump administration just announced its latest scheme to
sell out cherished public lands to fossil fuel corporations,
proposing to remove protections for lands within a 10-mile radius
of Chaco Culture National Historical Park.
But before the administration can fully
revoke protections, they are required to solicit public comments
on this devastating plan. They will be giving us just days to get
all our comments in.
Tell the Trump administration to keep
protections for priceless lands around New Mexico’s Chaco Canyon.

The Trump administration has been
shortening public comment periods, among other tactics, in an
apparent attempt to stifle public input in important federal
agency decisions — because they know that we, the people, have
power to mobilize the public and influence policy decisions.
Public comment periods are a critical
tool for helping organizations like NRDC ensure government
decisions follow the law. Now more than ever, we need as many
people as possible to speak out.
WHY IT MATTERS
The Trump administration’s proposal
is the latest in a slew of attacks on our public lands to keep
climate-busting oil and gas flowing and to make corporate
polluters richer. The attacks will keep coming. We must take a
stand — an attack on Chaco Canyon is an attack on all our public
lands. ( [link removed] )
Giving the public just days to provide
input also sets a dangerous precedent after the years of
comprehensive environmental review, consultation with Tribes on
potential impacts, and public input from supporters like you to
achieve the compromise of a 10-mile protection buffer around
Chaco — this could all be quickly undone.
WHAT’S AT STAKE
Chaco Canyon is one of the world’s most important living
cultural landscapes. The Greater Chaco region contains sacred
sites that hold historical significance and is home to many
Pueblo, Navajo, and other Tribal families. The proposal is a
dangerous step toward losing everything that makes this area
sacred, forever. And it could set an alarming precedent for
opening other cherished American lands like national parks and
monuments to drilling and mining.
More than 90 percent of the Greater Chaco
region has already been leased for oil and gas drilling. This has
caused damaging health impacts on local Indigenous communities,
including chronic symptoms like sinus irritation, burning eyes,
and joint pain, as well as exposure to probable cancer-causing
chemicals.
New Mexico families struggle with these
health hazards while the Trump administration continues to lease
stolen ancestral lands for drilling in areas outside the
protected zone.
WHAT NRDC IS DOING
In 2022, NRDC stood alongside local and Tribal organizations
in court challenging permits for fracking in the Greater Chaco
region. And NRDC’s public lands advocacy team is preparing to
submit our own response to the Trump administration’s proposal.
But we also need NRDC’s over 3 million
members and supporters like you to weigh in to ensure Chaco
ancestral lands are protected for generations to come.
Help mobilize a national public outcry in
defense of sacred lands that the Trump administration can’t
ignore: Submit your public comment now. ( [link removed] )
