Eleven Most Endangered Places
The
Greater Chaco Landscape includes Chaco Culture National Historical Park
and many cultural sacred sites in the surrounding landscape that are
affiliated with Chaco. Over the years, the BLM has leased more than 90
percent of its managed landscape for oil and gas development. In 2011
The National Trust for Historic Preservation designated the Greater
Chaco Landscape as one of the nation's "Eleven Most Endangered Places".
Forty
miles north of Chaco near the Great North Road a Sacred Site is
surrounded by the industrialization of the landscape. Last week Nancy
and I documented this Sacred Site and the Greater Chaco Landscape
surrounding it. The landscape is fragile. The threat is real.
Photographs are stronger than words...
be strong, be safe, Talon
