Tell BLM: Protect Wyoming’s wild public lands

Speak up to defend millions of acres of wildlife habitat and recreation lands.

Tell BLM: Keep Protections for Wyoming's wild public lands    Submit a comment Dear Momoko, Less than a year ago, the Bureau of Land Management finalized a plan in southwest Wyoming to protect critical habitat for wildlife like elk and pronghorn, plus cherished lands where people hike, hunt and camp. The plan, known as the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan (RMP), was more than a decade in the making, built on careful public input.  Now, the Trump administration is trying to unwind these protections—opening the door for oil, gas and mining development in Wyoming's Northern Red Desert.  Urge the BLM to keep the existing Rock Springs plan in place to protect Wyoming's wild places. The Rock Springs RMP:  Protects the lands where locals hike, hunt and camp;  Safeguards critical habitat for mule deer, pronghorn and elk;  Supports Wyoming's $1.5 billion outdoor recreation economy.  Those benefits shouldn't be sacrificed for the sake of more drilling; 92% of the state's BLM lands are already open for oil and gas leasing. If special landscapes like the Northern Red Desert are also leased, they will never be the same again.  Make your voice heard by mid-November—help protect over 3.6 million acres of our shared public lands. Thank you for your advocacy and support. Sincerely, The Wilderness Society   Submit a comment Kyle Duba
