We are in uncharted territory for resource extraction in the west. If K2's Mojave project is approved it opens the floodgates to countless other destructive projects.

CMH is a priceless and unique collection. It is an herbarium collection curated and maintained entirely by an indigenous botanist Arnold Clifford and his indigenous students.
Donations are needed for a storage shed to protect the collection from weather before it is lost, every dollar helps.

The new species is very rare and we may have only recognized this species on its way out. We were lucky in this case, but there are countless other species of plants and animals on the brink of extinction - even in U.S. National Parks - that have not been studied yet or given a scientific name.
