On May 1, Colorado Wildlife Federation and the National Wildlife Federation submitted a protest to the BLM regarding parcels that the agency proposes to offer for lease at its May auction. \u00a0These parcels were protested because 2 impact greater sage grouse leks, and two are within a bighorn sheep migratory corridor. \u00a0Others impact moose production areas, pronghorn and deer severe winter range, and elk winter concentration areas. \u00a0The cumulative impact upon wildlife from these parcels and the cumulative effect of earlier leases in addition to these proposed leases is of great concern to us.<\/p>\n
