The Bureau of Land Management’s failure to manage grazing to achieve healthy lands is a national scandal.

by Western Watersheds Project shows more than half of all Bureau grazing allotments — 54% — are being renewed under a special congressional loophole allowing agencies to skip environmental assessments and rubberstamp the leases to continue up to 10 more years without any changes. Worse, on lands with sensitive resources, or with conflicts between livestock and other land uses, you might think the agency would be extra-careful. Instead, they use the congressional loophole even more often in cases where serious conflicts exist and where they know land health standards are not being met.
