Mission & Vision

Mission

To safeguard the wonders of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado Plateau, while supporting the rights of its Native peoples.

We envision a Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau where:

Wildness, the diversity of native plants and animals, clean air, and flowing rivers abound.
Sovereign tribal nations thrive.
A livable climate endures.
People passionately work to protect the region they love for future generations.
