Coalition for the Valle Vidal Charity Profile

The Coalition for the Valle Vidal is made up of sportsmen, ranchers, outfitters and guides, local business, concerned citizens, outdoor enthusiasts and conservation groups. The broad-based nature of the Coalition reflects a diverse spectrum of interests the have united in opposition to developing the Valle Vidal for coalbed methane.

We believe that if certain areas are to be developed in order to meet our nations growing energy needs, other areas need to be set aside and protected from energy development. The Raton Basin is about 4,000 square miles, or approximately 2.6 million acres.

Large areas of the Raton Basin are currently being developed for coalbed methane, and most of the 2.6 million acres of the basin are available to industry for further gas production. The Valle Vidal represents only 1.5 percent of the area of the Raton Basin, and is a special place that should be set aside and protected.
