AZ is one of the fastest growing states in the nation, & we're losing VITAL land & habitat for many plants & animals! this year in 2017 was the busiest fire season in well over 20 years, all it takes is a single fire to sweep through an area & decimate endangered plants & animals we've worked so hard to protect, the slow growing Saguaro cacti take 50-100 years to become the tall awe inspiring cacti we enjoy in these parks in AZ, & most will be wiped out if these monuments were to close! Let these Congressman find other means to mine other places besides our Mounuments that does not threaten our precious & shrinking plant & wildlife here in AZ already in danger, please vote against closing our precious parks because trying to regain loss later will be too late!MyGSD3https://www.blogger.com/profile/09651808792366200002noreply@blogger.com
