Patagonia CEO Condemns Trump’s Public Lands Sale Plan
Proposals to sell off 640 million acres of public lands, including iconic landscapes, are currently under consideration, threatening access for recreation and harming local economies. This follows previous attempts to shrink national monuments, like Bears Ears, for resource extraction, actions later reversed. These actions disregard the legal protections afforded public lands and the vital ecological and cultural resources they safeguard. Mobilizing public support, through legal action and political advocacy, is crucial to preventing the sale of these invaluable lands. The fight to protect public lands requires a unified coalition of citizens, businesses, and conservation groups.
