We, the undersigned residents of the United States, are facing an unprecedented eco-crisis which previous actions have failed to slow, much less reverse.
The eco-crisis includes but isn’t limited to: forest, grassland, desert, riparian, and ocean degradation; threatened, endangered, and extinct species; water, air, and soil depletion and pollution; regional and global climate destabilization.
Despite the best efforts of a valiant environmental movement, not only haven’t we moved the needle on these existential threats, the consensus of peer-reviewed science shows us spiraling down in the opposite direction.
Therefore, we believe it’s time for a bold new vision for our last best ecosystems and wildlife populations on public lands.
