The Owyhee Canyonlands in southeastern Oregon is full of amazing plants, animals, and natural beauty. It needs to be protected forever.
This is the largest conservation opportunity in the American West. It has colorful canyons, large areas of sagebrush, rivers, and streams. Over 200 kinds of animals live here, including the Greater sage-grouse and pronghorn antelope. There are also nearly 30 plant species that grow only here. Scientists say it might become one of the last places where you can see the night sky without light pollution. We need to protect the Owyhee Canyonlands before it gets damaged.
