In the last two years, New Mexico invested $350 million in its first ever dedicated funding stream for conservation. The Land of Enchantment Legacy Fund safeguards New Mexico’s wild landscapes, protects wildlife and cultural sides, and expands outdoor access.

Now it’s time to do the same for our water.

With the Supreme Court decision that removed protections from wetlands and streams across the U.S., the risk of contamination from and oil and gas development, and rivers strained by drought, New Mexico needs stronger protections for its wetlands, streams, and drinking water. At WRA, we’re pushing for increased funding to help keep water in rivers and legislation that keeps our rivers flowing, our drinking water clean, and our wetlands wild.
