Technical Comments

When federal agencies propose changes that affect New Mexico’s public lands, wildlife, and water, New Mexico Wild staff and partners submit detailed technical comments during rulemakings, environmental reviews, and lease sales. We draw on science, law, and on-the-ground knowledge to push for evidence based decision making. Below you’ll find the comment letters we’ve submitted, often alongside conservation partners, Tribes, and community stakeholders.
