However, I would take a stand against the particular area of Nebraska they selected. Don't get me wrong, the Sand Hills are a truly breath-taking area, and everyone should experience them at some point, however, the Sand Hills are also relatively well managed by their private ownership. The area in Nebraska that is a truly wild area, and an area that is in what I would consider very extreme danger is the Rain Water Basin of Central Nebraska. This area has been gradually diminishing over the years due to encroachment by farming operations, and being drained for irrigation. This area is of vital importance as a stopping point for countless bird species (basically most Migratory waterfowl in N. America funnel into this area one or two times a year as I understand it.) As it shrinks, outbreaks of avian diseases in the increasingly high population areas have the potential to decimate many N. American waterfowl species. The rainwater basin, while not as picturesque as the Sand Hills is a truly unique area that deserves any protection possible. Of note, the state has been getting more aggressive about conserving this area, as well as other organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, but any additional help would be good.
