OUR STRATEGY
GRIP works in communities, in the courts, and in the state legislature
to protect community health, our environment, and natural resources.
Together, we can secure a healthy future for everyone!
OUR WORK
GRIP serves as a watchful guardian of our environment in southwest New Mexico. We keep an eye on activities with the potential to harm community health and our environment, such as polluting mining operations, unsustainable water use, and ecologically harmful projects. In response, we bring technical, policy and legal expertise to protect our land, air, water, public lands and wildlife. By facilitating informed public participation, we engage the public in natural resource use decisions and stewardship of our natural systems.
PROTECT
We work to protect community health and our natural resources by
ensuring responsible operation and reclamation of the region’s mines, by fostering resiliency and water security in the face of the climate crisis, and by saving our special natural areas and public lands for future generations.
ADVOCATE
We defend human and ecological health by using technical, policy and legal expertise to uphold safeguards of our water, air, land, and natural systems.
ENGAGE
We engage our community to take action to protect our environment, public health, and unique wild places through educational events and stewardship programs
