Our second episode of the season dropped today, and despite the general context of the country this week, it’s some good news.
In the episode, Chris talks to frequent guest Mason Voehl, Executive Director of the Amargosa Conservancy, about a significant win in the amargosa Bsin: A temporary halt to new mining claims in the vicinity of Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge.
We’ve been tracking this issue for a couple of years now (see here and here) and good news is definitely extremely welcome, especially this week.
Chris also discusses the beginnings of a new online community of desert protection advocates, a place where we can share information, ideas, and friendship — and keep each other closer to sane for the next four years.

I just discovered the Amargosa Conservancy when my friend, Kristine Green, set up a camping trip at Shoshone for the Great Old Broads for Wilderness from March 31 through April 4. I went online to get familiar with the issues and the area. I went on X to see what was important and significant. Thanks for keeping us informed. CHEERS!
