Rodillas Temblorosas

2024-07-31T13:00:30-06:00

Rodillas Temblorosas By Lea Linse Lea Linse es la Gerente del Programa de Conservación en EcoFlight y una defensora de mucho tiempo del Thompson Divide. Cuando era joven, solía pensar que "las rodillas temblorosas" era un dicho viejo y gastado. Seguramente nadie tenía realmente las rodillas temblorosas cuando estaba nervioso. Debería saberlo, era una ávida escaladora y esquiadora y era audaz cuando se trataba de cosas que otros pensaban que eran aterradoras. Eso fue, hasta que me paré frente a una multitud de más de 200 personas en una abarrotada reunión en el Ayuntamiento de Carbondale y me preparé [...]

"Everyone Wants That" By Bill Fales In mid-April, just weeks after the Administrative Withdrawal was announced, we got Bill Fales in front of the camera for a short video interview about his years of advocacy working to protect the Thompson Divide. Bill Fales and his wife Marj Perry own Cold Mountain Ranch and run cattle on grazing allotments in the Thompson Divide.¿Qué significa Thompson Divide para ti? What does the Thompson Divide mean to you? It’s our watershed, it’s our recreation, it’s our hunting. We wouldn’t have any ranching left in this valley without it. And that’s reflected in [...]

Un Enfoque Innovador: Luchando Contra los Arrendamientos

2024-07-31T12:39:53-06:00

Un Enfoque Innovador: Luchando Contra los Arrendamientos By Peter Hart Peter Hart es el Director Legal de Wilderness Workshop. Ha pasado miles de horas trabajando para proteger el Thompson Divide, y muchas más perdiéndose allí. A principios de los 2000, la Administración Bush vendió más de 80 arrendamientos en el Thompson Divide. La perforación explotó cerca. Para 2008, miles de nuevos pozos se perforaban cada año justo al oeste del Divide, frente a una docena de comienzos de pozos anuales una década antes. El "progreso" parecía destinado a pavimentar tierras públicas y el carácter rural local. La mejor oportunidad [...]

La Fundación de la Coalición Thompson Divide By Judy Fox-Perry Judy Fox-Perry y su esposo Will Perry son propietarios de un rancho dentro de Thompson Divide. Ella ha servido como presidenta y secretaria de la Coalición Thompson Divide. En 2008, la presencia de un desarrollo de gas pesado y sin restricciones cerca de Rifle y a lo largo del valle del río Colorado se convirtió en una realidad.
