Dear Supporter,

Oil and gas leasing has rapidly become one of the most destructive and pervasive land uses in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Places like the Jonah Field in Wyoming are now covered with wells pads and a spider web network of roads and utility corridors. Wildlife populations have suffered and air quality is deteriorating.

	Snowdrift Mountain in the Sage Creek Roadless area could be opened to oil and gas leasing as a result of studies that the Caribou-Targhee National Forest is currently conducting.
	Comment Today! to the C-T National Forest, telling them take a long, hard look at environmental impacts in the region

Now, the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in eastern Idaho is in the crosshairs. The Forest Service recently announced it will be conducting an environmental analysis for oil and gas leasing on the Caribou Administrative Unit of the Caribou-Targhee. The Caribou covers the southern half of the forest and is one of the most diverse and spectacular regions of the GYE. Yellowstone cutthroat trout, elk, black bears and sage grouse all depend on healthy habitat in the Caribou. With oil and gas leasing on the horizon, now is the time to speak up for this beautiful corner of Greater Yellowstone.

Let your voice be heard and tell the Forest Service to protect the Caribou from the impacts of oil and gas leasing!

SkyTruth and Google Maps Show What Oil and Gas Drilling is Doing to the Lands Around Yellowstone

Within the Yellowstone Ecosystem, oil and gas drilling has been most damaging in the Upper Green River Valley of western Wyoming. John Amos is using aerial graphics to show just how bad it is with a 10 minute video on YouTube. If that doesn't bring it home to you, visit this location near Pinedale, WY on Google Maps and scroll north to Pindale look at the vast areas that are being covered with roads, settling ponds, and drill rigs.

Is that the kind of place mule deer and antelope will be able to find forage in the winter?
