Anyone who’s ever set foot or tire in Gold Butte should relate to the letter about the importance of protecting it (“Gold Butte’s beauty deserves protection,” Las Vegas Sun, Nov. 12). The sculpted red sandstone and rock spires mentioned are a painting come to life. It’s amazing what Mother Nature can create, but it’s even more amazing how quickly people can destroy it.
We’ve all seen the illegal dumping on much-needed habitat or the graffiti on priceless rock art that can never truly be restored. It’s on all of us to ensure these terrible acts become less frequent. It starts by making a statement to our elected representatives that Gold Butte is valuable and should be permanently protected, but it also requires us to continue being good stewards and educate others about doing the same.
