Oak Flat, a sacred indigenous site and popular rock climbing destination in central Arizona, was transferred to a multinational mining company featuring Jason Keith from the Access Fund. 2. Southern Texas is battling to protect Big Bend National Park and the surrounding landscapes from the proposed border wall, featuring Bob Krumenaker, a core member of Keep Big Bend Wild and former superintendent of Big Bend National Park.
