Biographical Note
From SUWA:
The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) was founded in 1983 as a coalition of concerned citizens from Utah and throughout the nation who share the common goal of preserving Utah’s remaining desert wild lands. SUWA is the only independent organization working full-time to defend America’s redrock Wilderness from oil and gas development, unnecessary road construction, rampant off-road vehicle use, and other threats to Utah’s Wilderness-quality lands. SUWA is a qualified non-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the federal tax code.
The mission of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance is the preservation of the outstanding Wilderness at the heart of the Colorado Plateau, and the management of these lands in their natural state for the benefit of all Americans.
SUWA promotes local and national recognition of the region’s unique character through research and public education; supports both administrative and legislative initiatives to permanently protect the Colorado Plateau wild places within the National Park and National Wilderness Preservation Systems, or by other protective designations where appropriate; builds support for such initiatives on both the local and national level; and provides leadership within the conservation movement through uncompromising advocacy for Wilderness preservation.
