About SUWA - Since 1983, SUWA has been the only independent organization working full-time to defend America’s redrock wilderness from oil and gas development, unnecessary road construction, rampant off-road vehicle use, and other threats to Utah’s wilderness-quality lands. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) is made up of people who share the common goal of preserving Utah’s remaining desert wild lands, known collectively as America’s redrock wilderness.
