Most deserts are inhabited by endangered or threatened species. There aren't actually a lot of deserts so lifeless that you could avoid environmental activists getting in the way, at least not in the US.

US deserts are full of life; they're very far from lifeless. They're nothing like the endless sand dunes we envision when we think of the Sahara desert, Saudi Arabia, or the planet Arrakis.
