Tell President Biden to protect Molok Luyuk!

Molok Luyuk is unlike anywhere else in the world. Its unique mix of cultural importance, stunning biodiversity, and critical habitats demand permanent protection from the greedy energy developers that would damage the landscape.

President Biden has the power to permanently protect Molok Luyuk by expanding the nearby Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument. We need your help to convince him!

Dear President Biden,

I strongly support the expansion of Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument to include Molok Luyuk (Condor Ridge). Expanding the monument is an opportunity to protect a rare and rugged landscape that is sacred to the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and critically important to conserve in the face of a changing climate. I urge you to use the Antiquities Act to expand the monument and permanently protect these special lands.

Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument is located just north of Sacramento. It stretches from Napa County in the south to Mendocino County in the north, encompassing 330,780 acres of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS).

The proposed expansion area - Molok Luyuk - is located on the eastern edge of the existing monument. These BLM-managed lands include rolling hills, rocky outcroppings, meadows of wildflowers, and forests of pine, cypress, and oak. On a clear day, visitors experience 360 degree views and can see as far as Mount Shasta and the Sierra Nevada in the distance.

Moluk Luyuk offers incredible opportunities for hiking and includes critical wildlife habitat. A key goal of this effort is to establish co-management with federally recognized Tribes and return to an Indigenous name for these lands. Molok Luyuk is Patwin for Condor Ridge and is a name provided by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation. Protecting this important habitat will help preserve biodiversity and conserve a critical wildlife corridor.

The protection of Molok Luyuk has garnered widespread support and congressional, Tribal and community leaders are urging you to use the Antiquities Act to expand the monument. I add my name in strong support of expanding Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument.

Sincerely,

First name
