National Trust declares endangered the National Landscape Conservation System, a collection of lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (which allows multiple uses, i.e. oil drilling)

You can cast your vote for a place to receive a $100,000 preservation grant. Currently the lead is held by a Carousel, which may have the benefit of getting votes from Neutral Milk Hotel fans because of this:

Need San Diego preserve a historic Art Moderne car dealership? The Victorian house that they knocked down to build the dealership in the first place was way cooler anyway. I mean, people will always be constructing buildings of artistic merit, but buildings eventually get rundown and useless. I can understand fighting to preserve some of them, but this just seems kinda dinky to get up in arms over.
