The situation

What’s happening to Pinnacles

Towering rock spires and talus caves shelter one of the last wild populations of California condors. The BLM has proposed opening more than a million acres of California public land to oil and gas drilling, including split-estate parcels where the federal government holds subsurface mineral rights directly adjacent to and beneath national and state parks. At Pinnacles, fracking operations could contaminate the aquifer that sustains the park’s ecosystem and drive condors from the cliffs they were brought back from extinction to occupy.

Sources and methodThe situation, timeline, and threats: the MTJP threatened-lands record for Pinnacles, with per-item sources. Which groups are on the record for this place: MTJP editors tie a group to a fight only with a source link they have read, one link at a time. A group without one is shown as likely to care, a guess from the federal court record and the group’s own mission and footprint. Org-reported figures are always labeled.
