Hi there Friend,

 

We urgently need your help!

Thanks to your petitions to our Nevadan Senators and Representatives in
Congress, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge is safe for the time being.
The amendment introduced by our Nevada delegation has allowed protection
to be granted (for now) for the DNWR, which prevents it from being used as
a bombing range for the U.S. Air Force.

The catch is that the space is only temporarily still under the protection
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, since Nellis AFB could still try to
exert its influence in gaining the Refuge for its uses at any time.
Permanent safeguards urgently need to be put in place to protect these
sacred and vulnerable lands from further military expansion attempts.

That’s why we still need your help! Call your Congressmembers and thank
them for their efforts at preventing military incursion into the DNWR, and
to urge them to immediately introduce legislation that ensures permanent
Refuge protection. This is crucial to keeping the Desert Bighorn Sheep and
its natural habitat safe, and to preserve the DNWR for future generations
of Nevadans to enjoy.

Rep. Steven Horsford: DC (202) 225-9894 North LV (702) 963-9360 
 
Rep. Susie Lee: DC (202) 225-3252; LV (702) 963-9336
 
Rep. Dina Titus: DC (202) 225-5965; LV (702) 220-9823

Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto: DC (202) 224-3542; LV (702) 338-5030  

Sen. Jacky Rosen: DC (202) 224-6244; LV (702) 388-0205

Continue to use #DontBombTheBighorn on all social posts, to let lawmakers
know that you love the DNWR and want to keep its wild inhabitants
permanently protected!

 

In Solidarity,
