| Populations of Greater Sage-Grouse and the habitat they rely on have been in steep decline for more than five decades. In March, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) unveiled a long-awaited draft management plan for 67 million acres of public lands that sustain sage-grouse, along with more than 350 plants and animals of conservation concern. Our Audubon supporters rose to the occasion: More than 20,000 individuals submitted comments to the BLM urging them to protect the sagebrush ecosystem to save Greater Sage-Grouse before it’s too late. Thank you! |
