Mojave Desert Land Trust statement on Secretarial Order 3418, Unleashing American Energy

The Mojave Desert Land Trust strongly opposes Secretarial Order 3418. This review by executive action bypasses the public input process typical of government actions of this scale and threatens the quality of life in our communities. Our national monuments were designated due to overwhelming support and advocacy from local communities, and as such, should not be altered without the public’s input and approval.
