New Bureau of Land Management Rule Improves Land Use Planning

“Our mission at The Nature Conservancy is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends,” added Keith. “Public lands managed by the BLM and the large, intact habitats they provide, are central to achieving this mission. Our federal public land management agencies are uniquely authorized and are well-qualified to manage public lands for a full suite of desired outcomes that serve both people and nature. The ultimate test of effectiveness for any new rule is implementation on the ground, and The Nature Conservancy is committed to working together with the BLM and other stakeholders to ensure that these lands are managed to deliver the multiple uses and sustained yields Congress and the American people expect.”
