The Numunaa Nobe National Conservation Area (NCA) was established in the Stillwater Range of Nevada on December 23, 2022 to "conserve, protect, and enhance for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations the cultural, archaeological, natural, wilderness, scientific, geological, historical, biological, wildlife, educational, recreational, and scenic resources."  The vast area of this NCA includes a wide diversity of ecological zones and natural and cultural resources that have been important to the Nuumu people and their ancestors for thousands of years. To assure these outstanding resources will remain protected and accessible in perpetuity, all public lands within the NCA are withdrawn from: 

(i) all forms of entry, appropriation, and disposal under the public land laws;
(ii) location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and
(iii) disposition under all laws relating to mineral and geothermal leasing or mineral materials.
