Changes to the things we care about — land, water, wildlife and the people who depend on them — demand that we better understand and face climate change.
Climate change threatens California’s residents, economy and environment. The Wilderness Society is working to reduce climate change threats by working on milestone global warming policies.
In addition to our efforts to protect key landscapes in Alaska, The Wilderness Society is a leader in research to determine how climate change will affect Alaska and the Arctic.
From stunning Sierra forests to vast desert vistas, California has spectacular wildlands, many within a short drive from major urban centers.
SunZia Transmission
Saturday, June 2, 2012
The proposed SunZia Southwest transmission project would run from central New Mexico to south-central Arizona. The project should not be built through Arizona’s sensitive San Pedro Valley or the Aravaipa Canyon area.
The proposed TransWest Express transmission project would cross parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. It would connect the largest wind energy project ever proposed in Wyoming to the Las Vegas area.
The proposed Gateway West Transmission project would cross parts of Wyoming and Idaho, and would likely carry both fossil-fuel-based and renewable energy.
Lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are being impacted by climate change and other environmental factors, including a variety of uses.
