Special Places

New Mexico Wilderness Alliance is dedicated to the protection, restoration, and continued enjoyment of New Mexico's wilderness treasures.

The Alliance's mission is to protect New Mexico's great natural legacy - to forever preserve the lands you and I love from destruction and development.

New Mexico's spectacular public wild lands range from the expansive beauty of the fragile desert to rugged mountain tops. These are your lands-yours, mine, our children's. Steep canyons where the music of songbirds echoes from the rocks. Wild rivers teeming with life. Savagely beautiful volcanic escarpments and quiet, cool, dark forests. These treasures belong to all of us.
