The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced a proposed 50-year ban on new mining and oil and gas development in the Placitas area, New Mexico. The proposed mineral withdrawal would prevent new claims and developments in the area to safeguard Tribal lands, boost local recreation opportunities and support wildlife habitat connectivity. In a statement on Monday, the Department of Interior explained that Pueblos of San Felipe and Santa Ana had long sought protections for the Placitas area, which they consider ancestral and sacred lands. The site, located near the Albuquerque metro area, also provides close-to-home outdoor recreation opportunities and is popular for hiking, camping, sightseeing and hunting. The proposal would help protect, preserve and promote the scenic integrity, cultural importance, recreational values, and wildlife habitat connectivity within the Placitas area.
