THE TIME IS NOW

Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument

DEAR PRESIDENT BIDEN AND SENATORS WYDEN AND MERKLEY,

Oregonians from all corners of the state are calling for protection of the Owyhee Canyonlands.

Senators, you are champions of the Owyhee, having repeatedly introduced legislation that would guarantee permanent protection.

The Owyhee cannot wait any longer.

Only 5% of the Owyhee Canyonlands is permanently protected, and the threats of industrial development and climate change are clawing at its edges.

If Congress won’t act, then we’re urging you to work together to establish an Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument before the end of 2024.

Only permanent protection can secure the future of the Owyhee for generations to come. That is why many conservationists, hunters, recreationists, tribal members, and others are joining together in support of an Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument.

Let’s seize this opportunity to protect an iconic natural treasure — before it’s too late.

Show your support for Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument

A NATIONAL TREASURE
WORTHY OF PERMANENT PROTECTION
