Congress and President Obama have a unique opportunity to protect some of our nation's most beautiful and significant public lands in southern New Mexico.

The Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks region in Doña Ana and Luna counties is the crossroads of New Mexico's diverse history and culture, filled with natural wonders and incredible hunting and recreational opportunities.

We hope this book gives you a sense of the beauty, wonder, and diversity of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks and will inspire you to support the efforts to protect this region for our children and grandchildren.
