CALL TO ACTION: Save Nevada's National Monuments

Secretary Zinke is traveling to Nevada this Monday to review the state's national monuments, Basin & Range and Gold Butte. Senator Cortez Masto has written a passionate defense of the state's monuments. Over 98% of public comments submitted on national monuments came from people who favored keeping monuments intact and protected. Will Secretary Zinke listen?

Make sure he hears loud and clear that we want Nevada's monuments protected!

PHONE CALLS: Call (202) 208-7351 and ask that Secretary Zinke keep Nevada's two national monuments - Basin & Range and Gold Butte - whole and protected.

EMAILS: Email the Department of the Interior HERE and Zinke HERE. Ask that they keep Gold Butte and Basin & Range monuments protected. You can express this in your own words (especially if YOU ARE FROM NEVADA OR HAVE VISITED THESE MONUMENTS). Otherwise, copy and paste the following:

I urge Secretary Zinke to keep Nevada's National Monuments protected as they are today. Nevada's public lands generate 148,000 jobs and nearly $15 billion a year. Further, these lands provide vital habitat to the state's fish, wildlife and fauna, and outdoor recreation opportunities to its citizens. Basin and Range monument is of immense historical and cultural significance to local tribes, housing artifacts more than 13,000 years old. Gold Butte is home to fossilized tracks dating back 170 million years. These lands are of great importance and must be preserved as they are.
