Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge

Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge protects 8,672 acres of high desert grasslands and wetlands in northeastern New Mexico—a critical oasis for migrating waterfowl and pronghorn along the Central Flyway. These shortgrass prairies might not look like typical refuge habitat, but they’re essential stopover points in one of North America’s major migration corridors. This is working conservation at its finest: quiet, unglamorous, and absolutely vital. Rep a refuge that proves not all wildlife sanctuaries need mountains or coastlines to matter.
