The situation
What’s happening to Canyonlands
Where the Green and Colorado Rivers carve the earth into a labyrinth of stone so vast you can stand on the rim and see nothing made by human hands. Potash mining on its doorstep is drawing down the water table, and oil and gas leases surround the park on every side. The desert is fragile. The industry is not.
