Congress finds that— the Great Basin region of western Utah is comprised of starkly beautiful mountain ranges that rise as islands from the desert floor; the Wah Wah Mountains in the Great Basin region are arid and austere, with massive cliff faces and leathery slopes speckled with piñon and juniper; the Pilot Range and Stansbury Mountains in the Great Basin region are high enough to draw moisture from passing clouds and support ecosystems found nowhere else on earth; from bristlecone pine, the world’s oldest living organism, to newly flowered mountain meadows, mountains of the Great Basin region are islands of nature that— support remarkable biological diversity; and provide opportunities to experience the colossal silence of the Great Basin; and the Great Basin region of western Utah should be protected and managed to ensure the preservation of the natural conditions of the region.
