"The
Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) is the voice
of one of America's most threatened landscapes -- the wild and
unspoiled Colorado Plateau. Eighteen thousand concerned citizens
from across the nation have joined SUWA's hard-hitting, grassroots
commitment to save the magnificent canyon country of Southern
Utah. The public land surrounding Utah's prized national parks
is characterized by intricate canyons, arches, buttes, vast
expanses of slickrock, red and salmon colored pinnacles, a variety
of form and color unparalleled anywhere else on the planet .
. . and immense solitude and silence. Southern Utah harbors
nothing less than a landscape of magic -- a landscape that belongs
to you and to all Americans."
I absolutely recommend that if you are concerned as to the
disposition of this wonderful and inspiring land that you click
on this site and join in. Together we can save the vast wilderness
beauty of Southern Utah. It is the most important wilderness
proposal to be considered by Congress in the last quarter-century.
The land is deeply threatened by what I would consider to be
greedy one-dimensional growth proposals. None of the Utah constituency
is willing to cosponsor an appropriate bill, yet a large majority
of United States' (and Utah's!) citizens back the SUWA-sponsored
proposal.
