We have spent the last 2 days writing Urgent Action Letters on behalf of two endangered sacred sites: Nine Mile Canyon, Utah and Thornborough, England.There is still time to write for the protection of Nine Mile Canyon; by-pass roads must be used for industrial traffic in order to save the petroglyphs and pictographs. Send comment letters to the Bureau of Land Management: UT_Pr_Comments@blm.gov and copy the National Trust for Historic Preservation: crc@nthp.org. More information on this site: ninemilecanyoncoalition.orgThe comment period has closed for Thornborough (a henge not unlike Stonehenge) which is threatened by quarrying. More news on this when we receive it.
The site remains extremely endangered in 2008 and we are launching an Urgent-Action Letter-Writing Campaign against the current plan for full-field development with at least 800 new gas wells, called the West Tavaputs Gas Project. If this goes through, it would signal the end of the canyon’s cultural sacred petroglyphs.
