They call it Valentine National Wildlife refuge, great article, great job as always! And yes once again they have changed the name to deceive us, from wilderness areas to rewilding areas, these same things are stated in the Valentine USFW 1999 comprehensive plan. In 1974 some major rearranging occurred in the USFW, by 1979 they weren't able to pay 100 percent of the set revenue sharing amount, set by legislators, in which case you or I would lose our land, but no, Congress gave them Appropriations, our tax dollars, $1,950,000 appropriation started in 1980. In 2022 they received over 13,000,000 in appropriations, and still only paid 21.7 percent of the legislative amount. In the meantime they are destroying all of the wildlife they are supposed to protect!

Thank you for shedding light on this subject.
