The situation
What’s happening to Owyhee Canyonlands
Oregon’s outback. Deep river canyons, sagebrush steppe, and some of the most remote country in the Lower 48, land that has never seen a paved road. Sage-grouse country, pronghorn country. Wilderness protections keep stalling in Congress while overgrazing degrades the streams that hold it all together.
