Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge near Los Banos, Calif., and Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge in northern Nevada are the national wildlife refuges most threatened by pollution, according to a report by the Wilderness Society, a conservation organization. The report calls the condition of the nation’s wildlife sanctuaries “one of the greatest scandals of American conservation” and recommends that more land be set aside for endangered sites and more comprehensive laws enacted to ensure their preservation.
