The proposed amended BLM habitat management plans will incorporate updated beset science to strengthen conservation measures for sagebrush habitat on the public lands managed by BLM. CWF is hopeful that the collaboration among state and federal agencies and private landowners, spurred on with these proposed amendments to BLM&#8217;s resource management plans that govern land use on public lands it manages, will generate durable management to help reverse the decline of this bird&#8217;s populations. The extent of the decline is 80 percent across its range since 1965. The term &#8220;proposed&#8221; is used because the protest period stage of the process runs until December 9. CWF has participated actively in the BLM&#8217;s public comment process throughout development of the proposed amendments. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/pressreleases\/interior-department-proposes-strengthened-protections-greater-sage-grouse-habitat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here is the BLM&#8217;s press release.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 8, 2024 the Bureau of Land Management issued its proposed final plan to improve protections for greater sage grouse on public lands in 10 western states including Colorado.
