Help Safeguard Texas Horned Lizards

Texas horned lizards emerge from hibernation every spring to lay their eggs. Unfortunately, these fierce-looking creatures are in decline because of threats to their habitat, among other causes. Take action today to urge President Biden and Interior Secretary Haaland to designate the Castner Range as a national monument so that wildlife such as Texas horned lizards can thrive.

Tell President Biden and Interior Secretary Haaland to designate Castner Range as a national monument to protect wildlife like the Texas horned lizard.

Dear Secretary Haaland/President Biden,

For over 50 years, the Castner Range outside El Paso, Texas, allowed our soldiers to get the training they needed so they could better protect our nation. Now it’s time for that land to play another important role for our nation. Designating the Castner Range as a national monument will safeguard diverse wildlife populations, protect drinking water supplies, preserve ancient cultural artifacts, and expand outdoor recreation opportunities for communities in El Paso. Specifically, bringing national monument status to Castner Range could do the following:

-	Protect an important wildlife migration corridor and revive imperiled species – such as the ferruginous hawk and the Texas horned lizard. 
-	Safeguard a natural water system that feeds an aquifer and prevents flooding of El Paso
-	Preserve artifacts on the ancestral homeland of Indigenous peoples, some of which date back 10,000 years.
-	Expand opportunities for hiking and recreation for Latino families in El Paso

I applaud your administration’s efforts to conserve 30 percent of our nation’s lands and waters by 2030. Designating Castner Range as a national monument is the perfect way to advance your America the Beautiful initiative.

Sincerely,
