Eight years ago, Franky DeAngelis pointed to a map and his finger landed on New Mexico. Now, this Guardian lives in Silver City, a vibrant town on the edge of the Gila National Forest and fights for the Wild every day. Head to the Brave New Wild Blog to get to know Franky, an artist, lightning enthusiast, and fierce advocate for the Wild we're proud to fight alongside. https://lnkd.in/g2yvN-Vq #AForceForNature #Gila100 #NewMexico #WeAreGuardians

A Force For Nature
About us
We work to protect and restore wildlife, wild places, wild rivers and health of the American West. Driven by passion, we’ve tackled some of the West’s most difficult and pressing conservation challenges over the past three decades. We’ve celebrated small victories (banning leghold trapping in the state of Colorado), monumental triumphs (ending logging on more than 21 million acres in the Southwest), and everything in-between. We’re proof that a group of committed, visionary, idealistic, and passionate caretakers of the wild can take on the most daunting adversaries—and win. Working in offices across the West, WildEarth Guardians’ staff, board, and interns bring their passion, drive, and intellect to keep our mission moving forward every day.

This story, featuring Guardians' Chris Krupp, reveals one of the latest instances of private interests scheming to rob public lands, parcel by parcel. Guardians works to expose - and halt - the efforts of greedy land-grabbers to keep public lands where they belong: in public hands. #PublicLands #WildPlaces https://lnkd.in/gwVT642D

Did you know that today is International Owl Awareness Day? Since its founding decades ago, WildEarth Guardians has fought U.S. Forest Service proposals to log ancient forest habitat for the Mexican Spotted Owl, at one point halting logging on 21 million acres of national forests. If you give a hoot about Mexican Spotted Owls, add your name to our petition to protect old growth forests from logging: https://lnkd.in/gsTAd9AZ #OwlAwarenessDay
