The Western Energy Project (WEP) works to protect our treasured landscapes in the American West by ensuring that any development of oil and gas from our federal public lands is done in a responsible manner. We support the preservation of ecologically and culturally important areas, the adoption of common-sense protections for our water, air, land, and wildlife, and the safeguarding of opportunities for Americans to enjoy our public lands. The Western Energy Project works closely with a number of partner organizations as we seek to protect these places that are so integral to current and future generations who seek a variety of experiences that only our western public lands can provide.
