The Biden administration has proposed a plan to protect the greater sage grouse, known for its splashy mating dance, by limiting oil and gas drilling, mining, livestock grazing, and other activities across much of the American West. This move aims to conserve the habitat of the sage grouse, which has seen its population plummet by roughly 80 percent from 1965 to 2021. The plan would affect 67 million acres, an area larger than the state of Wyoming, known as the 'sagebrush sea,' which has been significantly impacted by wildfires and invasive plants. The proposal has received a divided response from conservationists and calls for the Bureau of Land Management (@BLMNational) to consult with experts in the West, highlighting decades of successful conservation efforts in Wyoming.

Greater sage grouse were once so prevalent that flocks of millions darkened the sky, conservationists say. But from 1965 to 2021, their population plummeted by roughly 80 percent, a report found. The Biden administration wants to change that. https://t.co/nLqVyuEyzW https://t.co/rNfXVQ2Ou1
