WILD UTAH: America's Red Rock Wilderness
(Subtitles available in English and Spanish)
(Subtítulos disponibles en Inglés y Español)
The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) is made up of people like you, concerned citizens from Utah and throughout the nation who share the common goal of preserving Utah’s remaining desert wild lands, known collectively as America’s Red Rock Wilderness.
This 14-minute short documentary is an advocacy film for Utah's last remaining wild places. SUWA advocates for protecting over 9 million acres of federally managed public lands as Wilderness, areas of pristine natural beauty, unique and untrammeled ecosystems, and unfathomable cultural significance. This film walks the viewer through the diverse landscape and draws upon diverse voices to tell the story of why these lands are worth protecting, why oil and gas production, off-road vehicle use, mining, and even politicians are risking the integrity of the landscape, and what can be done to ensure these public lands are protected for generations to come.

MSCP and the Park Ranger Program
As part of a larger effort to protect open space the City of San Diego and the Natural Resource Protection agencies developed a regional multiple species conservation plan now known as the MSCP. The City then adopted its own plan called the MHPA or multiple habitat planning area that created a park preserve system to protect wild land for future generations and provide passive recreational opportunities for the public. Biological monitoring of these MHPA areas provides data for the Park Rangers who then determine best management strategies to protect the park resources. Learn how your open space is protected.

The Liturgy of Home: Terry Tempest Williams
Terry Tempest Williams, the 2017–18 Writer-in-Residence at Harvard Divinity School, delivers the 2018 Ingersoll Lecture.
She has been called a citizen writer, a writer who speaks and speaks out eloquently on behalf of an ethical stance toward life. A conservationist and fierce advocate for freedom of speech, she has consistently shown us how environmental issues are social issues that ultimately become matters of justice. So here is my question, she asks, what might a different kind of power look like, feel like, and can power be redistributed equitably even beyond our own species?

SUMMARY
=======
Illinois ( (listen) IL-ih-NOY) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is the 6th-most populous U.S. state and 25th-largest state in terms of land area, and is often noted as a microcosm of the entire United States. With Chicago in the northeast, small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in northern and central Illinois, and natural resources such as coal, timber, and petroleum in the south, Illinois has a diverse economic base, and is a major transportation hub. The Port of Chicago connects the state to other global ports around the world from the Great Lakes, via the Saint Lawrence Seaway, to the Atlantic Ocean; as well as the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River, via the Illinois Waterway on the Illinois River. The Mississippi River, the Ohio River, and the Wabash River form parts of the boundaries of Illinois. For decades, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport has been ranked as one of the world's busiest airports. Illinois has long had a reputation as a bellwether both in social and cultural terms and politics.
The capital of Illinois is Springfield in central Illinois. Although today, the state's largest population center is in and around Chicago in the northeastern part of the state, the state's European population grew first in the west, with French who settled along the Mississippi River, and gave the area the name Illinois Country. After the American Revolutionary War established the United States, American settlers began arriving from Kentucky in the 1780s via the Ohio River, and the population grew from south to north. In 1818, Illinois achieved statehood. After construction of the Erie Canal increased traffic and trade through the Great Lakes, Chicago was founded in the 1830s on th ...
