Huge win: 3,700 acres of stunning land alongside the Río Grande del Norte National Monument is now YOUR public land. This is thanks to years of work, hand-in-hand with the Taos Community & @TPL_org. We delivered a win for public lands & an enduring legacy for generations to come.

#BirdsNeedWater, and in arid states like Arizona, groundwater is a crucial resource. @AudubonSW brings the issue of overuse to the surface by highlighting what’s at risk if we fail to properly manage our groundwater resources. https://t.co/RobjAYxww0
Groundwater is the source for springs, rivers, streams & wells. 40% of Arizona’s water use comes from groundwater, but some 1.5 million Arizonans live in an area with no groundwater protections. Overuse of groundwater can impact riverside habitat birds need. #WaterAwarenessMonth
