The short explanation of this alert was:

Few places in the American West are as symbolic of wildness and grandeur as the San Rafael Swell in east-central Utah. But the Swell, Sids Mountain, Desolation Canyon, and other majestic wild areas face a potential onslaught of oil and gas drilling and off-road vehicle use.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released a revised management plan for the area. The agency has abandoned any pretext of balance. Instead, it proposes to open 98 percent of wilderness-quality lands outside of existing wilderness study areas to oil and gas drilling. And it again refuses to adequately protect the land against destructive off-road vehicle use.

Please take a moment to urge the BLM to back away from this wrong-headed and destructive proposal. Help us save some of what is best in wild Utah! The deadline for comments is Monday, November 29, 2004.
