GUNNISON SAGE GROUSE NEEDS YOUR HELP!
The US Fish and Wildlife has issued their draft Endangered Species Listing for the imperiled Gunnison Sage Grouse after being ordered by the court to go back and conduct a thorough science based analysis for a listing decision. The bird has been on the decline for years mainly due to habitat destruction from development and oil & gas extraction. An endangered listing is potentially the last chance for this canary species of the west. Comments are due on April 2nd.

SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS WILDERNESS |
|
FEB 14, 2013 - SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS WILDERNESS BILL INTRODUCED IN THE SENATE - Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet introduced the Bill, which failed to pass in the last session due to the lack of a vote. "Colorado's scenic mountains and open spaces create jobs and form the very foundation of our thriving outdoor recreation economy. We need to support these job creators by protecting and preserving the public lands that are critical to their businesses and our quality of life in Colorado," Udall said. "That's why I am standing with the residents of San Miguel, Ouray and San Juan counties to reintroduce the San Juan Mountains Wilderness Act. This legislation is an example of how wilderness should be done — from the bottom up and with the support of local businesses, leaders and residents."

PINON RIDGE URANIUM MILL LICENSE APPLICATION STILL FLAWED AND STALLED - After a court ordered hearing in November and a follow up order from the administrative Judge who conducted the hearing to the state to consider all information presented at the hearing, we now await another State decision on the license application due April 27, 2013. After presenting solid technical evidence against the mill and exposing several significant flaws in the license application, we feel the state has no choice but to deny the license this time around.
