A new conservation agreement has been announced to safeguard a significant expanse of New Mexico desert, renowned for its breathtaking vistas that captivated 20th-century painter Georgia O'Keeffe. The pact also ensures continued public access to an adjacent educational retreat, partners confirmed on Tuesday.
The initial phase establishes a conservation easement across approximately 26 square kilometres of land near Abiquiu, owned by a charitable arm of the Presbyterian Church.
