Friends of the Amargosa Basin, a nonprofit organization with 501c3 status, was incorporated with the primary goal of achieving National Monument status for public lands of the Amargosa Basin, an area between Death Valley National Park and the Mojave National Preserve. Although this durable protected status is the primary goal, the organization is also an advocacy organization dedicated to protecting these lands, and the communities that rely on them, in the face of immediate threats for the benefit of future generations.
