“BLM Advances Bighorn Sheep Conservation with NEPA Review Approval in the Swell”

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has approved a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review that supports the conservation of bighorn sheep in the Swell. The decision is part of BLM’s mission to maintain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the enjoyment of present and future generations.

BLM is responsible for managing approximately 245 million acres of public land, primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska. This land is held on behalf of the American public. In addition to this, the BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation.

The approval of the NEPA review is an important step towards ensuring the conservation of the bighorn sheep in the Swell. The review process is designed to ensure that decisions made by federal agencies are informed by a careful consideration of their potential environmental impacts. The decision reflects BLM’s commitment to preserving the diverse wildlife and ecosystems found on America’s public lands.
