CALIFORNIA'S MOJAVE DESERT UNDER ATTACK BY U.S.ARMY TANKS, ENDANGERED DESERT TORTOISE WILL LOSE!!
This proposed legislation is a lose/lose proposition for the desert tortoise. It will lose over 110 square miles of its critical habitat. It will lose one of its strongest remaining populations in the West Mojave.
The tortoise is already under severe pressure in the West Mojave and the loss of the Superior Valley will be devastating. The public will lose out because ever larger amounts of money and more and more restrictions on desert users will be needed to try to nurse the tortoise back from the brink.
The Superior Valley is a magnificent public resource that will be lost for good once the Army moves in. An entire species of plant, the Lane Mountain Milk-vetch, may be lost forever.
Taking the Superior Valley away from the public is too big a decision to be made by adding a rider onto another bill. Decisions on public resources should be carefully considered -- not decided on at the last minute. Without an adequate opportunity to provide informed local input the public loses out.
SO DO ENDANGERED SPECIES OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS!
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
