Friends,
Things are changing fast for the the wild this year. The Obama Administration left office, sweeping a blizzard of expensive and damaging “treatment” and energy projects out the door. Agencies have amassed vast sums in funding that is supposed to be used for sage-grouse conservation, but instead is being used on projects that please welfare ranchers and industry. WLD has commented on many of these – including major juniper clear-cutting in the cow-burned Owyhees the “BOSH”) project, and major new habitat fragmentation in Idaho and Oregon from the Tri-State “Fuelbreaks”, and many other projects.
