Long story short, a 'developer' is in the process of developing (what several hundreds of Moab residents consider to be a boondoggle of a monstrosity of) a "housing [overnight & weekly rental condos, a gaggle of Tourist-Type Shops, and an assortment of McMansions available for those with a few million to spare] a "development" along the Colorado River. A year or so ago, while out photographing, by chance I met the 'developer' (he'd stopped to question why I'd parked along the county road that runs through the property he planned to develop), and in the conversation that ensued, I offered to assist and/or advise with regard to planning and preservation of the archaeological resources the setting has in abundance. As I might/should have expected at the time, despite calls and emails I subsequently made, I never heard back from the developer.
So yesterday I signed on to volunteer with the coalition who're aimed at limiting (or eliminating) the "development". I did so shortly after going in to 're-shoot' the petroglyph panel shown here.

I think I would start with whoever sold the developer the property in the first place and look to shine a little light on them too as party to this travesty. I'm not one to exclude people from access to antiquities like this but sure would support adequate protection for them.
