“After two rounds of successful litigation, this is really a win for the Sonoran Desert National Monument, the American public and the local Arizona officials who spent years carefully documenting and analyzing the impacts of target shooting on these ecologically sensitive areas rife with Indigenous cultural sites, including the culturally significant Komatke Trail,” said Matthew Bishop at the Western Environmental Law Center. “There are plenty of places in Arizona to target shoot without harming important resources and visitor safety. The Bureau of Land Management made the right call here, and we will ensure this decision survives any legal challenges.”
