Pressure Salazar to Save the Roan Plateau
This month, the Men's Journal has written a story about the Roan Plateau in Colorado. Click here to read the article from Men's Journal. The article summarizes the fight between energy companies that want to drill 3,200 gas wells on the Roan, and the sportsmen, local outfitters, ranchers, and other outdoor enthusiasts that want to save this precious landscape and the wildlife and game species that depend on it. Ken Salazar, the Secretary of the Interior, can overturn the leases at any time. PLEASE CLICK HERE to send an email to Ken Salazar asking him to cancel the gas leases on the Roan.
