Wyoming's high deserts have now become one of the primary targets of the oil and gas industry. Bulldozers and drilling rigs are already gobbling up some of our most pristine wildlands and most sensitive wildlife habitats. Key conservation lands within the Red Desert for wildlife and wilderness include the Jack Morrow Hills, Adobe Town, Atlantic Rim, Powder Rim, Kinney Rim, Wild Cow Creek, and the Ferris Dunes. The Red Desert is one of the last strongholds for high desert wildlife like the sage grouse, pygmy rabbit, burrowing owl, and ferruginous hawk. It is also home to desert elk herds, wild horses, impressive herds of pronghorn, and a host of other wildlife. This is perhaps the best remaining example of a sagebrush steppe ecosystem in the United States.
