Proposed Saguaro Wilderness, Saguaro National Monument, Arizona

The National Park Service proposes that 42,000 acres within Saguaro National Monument be designated as wilderness. In addition, it is proposed that 27,100 acres within the Monument be designated as 'potential wilderness addition,' to be added to the wilderness by the Secretary of the Interior at such time that the lands qualify. The social, ecological, and economic impacts of the proposed action could be considered both beneficial and adverse. The impacts of the proposed action include: the protection of various plant and animal communities, restoration of damaged habitat, possible restrictions on some visitor use of the area, and the limitations on any future developments within the area.
