Water Priorities

New Mexico Wild’s water work is centered on three guiding principles: equitable and collaborative water management, river and habitat protection, and water availability for all uses, including native and imperiled species and recreation. Through these lenses, we work to protect the waterways of the Land of Enchantment and work to ensure equitable access for the plants, wildlife, and human communities that depend on them.
