Save the Scenic Santa Ritas

Save The Scenic Santa Ritas(SSSR) is a not-for-profit organization that works to protect the Santa Rita Mountains from environmental degradation caused by industrial mining. We are dedicated to conserving the integrity of natural ecosystems, cultural history, and human communities and values in and around the Santa Rita Mountain Range. With a strong record of successes, SSSR partners and works closely with other environmental organizations, indigenous groups and government agencies.

Our short term goal is to prevent any mining from occurring in these mountains. Our long term goal is to obtain permanent protection by supporting withdrawal of the Forest Service lands from mineral entry, and protecting the private lands from mining. Our current activities are focused on protecting public lands in the Santa Rita Mountains and surrounding areas that would be impacted by the proposed Rosemont and Copper World mining projects.
