Summary: A coalition of wildlife and conservation organizations supports the BLM's goal of modernizing grazing regulations but expresses concerns regarding specific provisions. They argue against narrowing the definition of "production-oriented livestock," eliminating "special grazing permits" for Indigenous animals, and reducing public participation or water quality standards in rangeland health assessments.
Please accept the attached comments from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), Arizona Wildlife Federation, Association of Northwest Steelheaders, Conservation Northwest, Idaho Wildlife Federation, Montana Wildlife Federation, Nevada Wildlife Federation, and New Mexico Wildlife Federation on the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) proposal to update its regulations governing livestock grazing on public lands.
