In addition to managing public land, the BLM also oversees 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate across the nation. The bureau’s mission is not only to sustain the health of the land, but also to maintain its diversity and productivity. This is carried out with a long-term perspective, ensuring that the land can be used and enjoyed by future generations.
The emergency actions being prepared by the BLM are part of this commitment to land stewardship. They are particularly vital in light of the challenges posed by the ongoing drought, which is impacting wildlife, including wild horses, in the Muddy Creek Herd Management Area. These actions aim to ensure the survival and well-being of these animals in the face of environmental adversity.
