>Save Soda Mountain For All Americans
>
>Dear WWF Conservation Action Network Activist:
>
>Please help convince President Clinton to designate public lands in the
>Soda Mountain area of southern Oregon as a national monument and
>protect its globally outstanding rare and diverse plants and wildlife.
>Soda Mountain's wild and scenic landscape of high ridges and steep
>canyons shelters one of the great treasure-troves of life in the West.
>The region encompasses trout streams, ancient stands of fir and pine,
>flower-strewn meadows, towering volcanic cliffs, and rich grasslands
>dotted with magnificent oaks.  Here the plants and animals of several
>ecoregions merge into an amazing array of natural variety.
>
>For the past six months, the Soda Mountain area has been under study
>by Secretary of  Interior Bruce Babbitt as a candidate for national
>monument designation.  World Wildlife Fund, the Soda Mountain
>Wilderness Council, and numerous other local, regional, and national
>groups support national monument designation for the Soda Mountain
>area.
>
>Unfortunately, this ecologically priceless landscape is now threatened
>by commercial livestock grazing, logging, off-road vehicle abuse, and
>piecemeal management.  President Clinton needs to hear about the
>vital importance of this region for the biodiversity of the West, and
>about the critical need to protect it as a national monument for future
>generations.
>
>Please show President Clinton that there is tremendous support for
>protecting this phenomenal landscape.  Go to
