Important Deadline for Comments is tomorrow

 

Last Call: Protect Chaco’s Cultural Landscape

Tomorrow—Tuesday, April 7—is the final day in a very short public comment period to voice concerns about a proposal to revoke the withdrawal of approximately 336,425 acres of public lands located within a radius of approximately 10 miles surrounding Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico that protected these lands with more than a thousand years of cultural history from mineral leasing.  The AIA* is opposed to this proposal and deeply concerned about the threats it poses to over 4,000 archaeological and cultural heritage sites with enduring significance to descendant communities and the broader American public.  Speak Up:  Click the “Participate Now” button on the BLM’s Project page to submit a public comment voicing your concerns.  Comment HERE! * Archaeological Institute of America
