Our mission is to rapidly preserve a 600-mile astro-wildlife corridor from light pollution’s existential threat to wilderness, astronomy, human health, biodiversity, and future generations.

Dark Sky Land’s 600-mile Astro-wilderness corridor, navigates through three different NM counties and important Natural Reserves and National Forests such as; the Cibola, the Gila, the Apache, the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Reserve, and the Continental Divide Trail.

Dark Sky Land is a New Mexico-based, astro-wildlife preservation organization, intended to create and develop an interdisciplinary, collaborative frame-work in a context where a large eclectic community from four different New Mexico counties along the Dark Sky Land 600-mile astro-wildlife corridor, converge and participate in programs, projects and events related to space science, ancient culture, the arts, nature, advocacy, innovation, adventure, exploration and the unknown.

It takes place in a landscape of natural darkness, where creators, native people, astronomers, astrophysicists, conservationists, on foot Continental Divide Trail travelers, local ranchers, national and international adventurers, come together to connect, observe, exchange and study the self and the cosmos from earth.

The proximity to the center of an ancient astro-archeological universe, Chaco Canyon, El Mal Pais, Cosmic Campground Sanctuary, and other close by Native Pueblos Land is an inspiration to engage in a multidimensional based experience. Dark Sky Land reconsiders the potential of inclusive collaborations as an innovative and necessary grounded practice.

We are working close to DarkSky New Mexico International Chapter in order to secure denominations for sanctuaries, parks and reserves along the corridor by 2026, as well as moving forward with the 1999 New Mexico Dark Sky Protection Act’s re-introduction to the Legislature by early 2025.

Join us on this breathtaking, intriguing and immersive voyage into the cosmos and the natural world.
