1. Wilderness Preserves Ranches and Ranchers Rights (See the Wilderness Act and 1990 Grazing Guidelines)

2. No Significant Change in BLM Land Management from WSA –to-Wilderness Status (There Are 8 WSA’s in Dona Ana County, comprising 2/3 of the Wilderness Proposal, With Ranchers Successfully Operating In ALL of Them)

3. The Wilderness Designation Process Gives Ranchers a Strong Voice in Designating Better Boundaries for Ranches In and Around Wilderness Areas

4. Wilderness Designation Resolves Longstanding Disputes Over Future of Existing Ranches. If No Protections Are Given, the Ranches of Today Will Become the Subdivisions of Tomorrow!
