Kendra Pinto from the Counselor Chapter of the Diné (Navajo) Nation in New Mexico is fighting for the US Congress and Bureau of Land Management to strengthen federal protections in the San Juan Basin of the southwestern United States. Pinto advocates for stricter regulation of methane waste and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to protect Diné tribal lands and sacred sites from current and future water and air pollution impacts that stem from local oil and natural gas industries.
