O ur mission is to protect and restore the native biological diversity and watersheds of the American Southwest and Northern New Mexico.
Water is so much more fine an element than Earth.
Despite being one of the most arid states in the country, New Mexico is blessed with over 6,000 miles of freshwater streams. Polluted waters in New Mexico threaten fish and wildlife and drinking water. Sediment, bacteria from livestock wastes, metals, chemicals and other products bleed into our water supplies. Nearly every stream in the state is harmed by cattle. To combat this legacy of pollution, Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972.
