The situation

What’s happening to Agua Fria

Over 450 prehistoric sites on a mesa-top landscape north of Phoenix, including major pueblo ruins that tell the story of communities that thrived here for centuries. Cattle grazing is damaging critical habitat for an endangered fish and a threatened bird along its streams, and a federal judge has ruled that the BLM and the Fish and Wildlife Service broke the Endangered Species Act over it.

Sources and methodThe situation, timeline, and threats: the MTJP threatened-lands record for Agua Fria, with per-item sources. Group crews and program ratios: IRS Form 990 via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, latest filed year, EINs on each group’s profile. Which groups are listed for this place: a group is listed only under a sourced fact, and each chip opens its source. Local means headquartered in the state (the group’s own site, else the legal domicile on its 990) or the place named in its mission on its latest 990. In the fight means a case over the place naming it (the court docket), its own comment on a decision about the place (regulations.gov), an editors’ link with its source or its own page approved by a person here, or events on its own calendar held at the place. No fact, no listing. Org-reported figures are always labeled. Data verified as of 2026-11-01. No group pays to be listed on this page or for where it sits.
