Pueblo governors and New Mexico lawmakers are fiercely defending the sacred Greater Chaco landscape, warning that weakening federal protections threatens thousands of ancestral sites.

The BLM is reviewing three options — keeping the buffer, eliminating it, or allowing leasing beyond five miles — and invites stakeholder input as it balances energy needs with cultural preservation.
