The U.S. Interior Department has finalized the Conservation and Landscape Health rule that prioritizes conservation alongside mining, grazing, drilling, and clean energy development on public lands. This impacts about 245 million acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), covering a tenth of the country's land predominantly in the West. The policy aims to balance various land uses with environmental preservation, supporting wildlife habitat conservation, restoration of areas affected by wildfires and droughts, and promoting recreational activities and thoughtful development. However, stakeholders like Utah Representative John Curtis and commentators such as SarahMontalban0 in a WSJopinion oped express concerns that the rule could undermine traditional land uses.
The U.S. just changed how it manages a tenth of its land. The Interior Department rule puts conservation and clean energy development on par with drilling, mining and resource extraction on federal lands for the first time, by @maxinejoselow https://t.co/o5B44VoRGZ
With today’s announcement of the BLM’s Conservation and Landscape Health rule finalization, I’m re-upping the @WSJ @WSJopinion oped @SarahMontalban0 & I wrote last summer for @IWF. We argued it’ll undermine multiple-use. Sadly, our worst fears came true. https://t.co/7o03I4NONc

It's a big day! Announcing our strategy to help guide balanced management of public land. 👏 Public Lands Rule will: ✅ Help conserve wildlife habitat ✅ Restore places impacted by wildfire & drought ✅ Expand recreation ✅ Guide thoughtful development https://t.co/wDnCaDVeis https://t.co/cnbIREArzM
It is critical that Utah's land remains under the stewardship of those who have tended it for generations. Today, the BLM published a final rule that undermines the very people who rely on our federal lands for ranching, grazing, recreation, and beyond. Learn more:… https://t.co/O5oONZlhez

The new rule relates to areas overseen by the Bureau of Land Management, some 245 million acres that make up a 10th of the country’s land, mainly in the West. https://t.co/Cyx17wIhGx
