Good news on the home front to save Gaia! After a two-year legal battle between a small group of Gaia-loving lawyers and the Trump administration's top legal teams, EarthJustice was able to stop the construction of a 43-mile pipeline through Mojave Trails National Monument. This pipeline would have enabled a company to pump massive amounts of groundwater (16-billion gallons of water a year) out of ancient desert aquifers — putting desert ecosystems and public health at risk. In a nutshell, this plan, defended by the Trump administration, "extracted private profits from beneath public lands" at the public's-- and Gaia's-- peril.
But not this time around thanks to the lawyers at EarthJustice and a judge who saw the light. You can learn more about the legal battle here.
