“The proposed mine would permanently destroy Oak Flat, a sacred site for Tribes, and home to world-class climbing and unique ecological values. The fight is not over, but this is a step forward in defending this sacred and irreplaceable landscape,” said Erik Murdock, Deputy Director at Access Fund.
