The proposal would also allow companies to buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bureau-of-land-managements-new-conservation-rule-will-restrict-public-access-to-federal-lands-sen-barrasso\/\" title=\"New 'Conservation' Rule by Bureau of Land Management Limits Public Access to Federal Lands: Sen. Barrasso.\">conservation leases<\/a>, such as oil drillers who want to offset damage to public land by restoring acreage elsewhere. Tracy Stone-Manning, director of the Bureau of Land Management, said the proposed changes would address rising pressure from climate change and development. The pending rule would also promote establishing more areas of \u201ccritical environmental concern\u201d due to their historic or cultural significance, or their importance for wildlife conservation.<\/p>\n<h3>Opposition and Debate<\/h3>\n<p>The conservation idea is stirring debate over the best use of vast government-owned property, primarily in the West. Opponents, including Republican lawmakers, are blasting it as a backdoor way to exclude mining, energy development, and agriculture from land controlled by the Bureau of Land Management. U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican who tried to block Stone-Manning\u2019s 2021 Senate confirmation, says the proposed rule is illegal. Environmentalists have largely embraced the idea of conservation leases, characterizing the proposal as long overdue.<\/p>\n<h3>Public Meetings and Virtual Events<\/h3>\n<p>Senior agency officials were scheduled to host the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/reach-those-weve-never-reached-before-nasa-joins-the-woke-train-with-mission-equity\/\" title=\"\u2018Reach Those We\u2019ve Never Reached Before\u2019: NASA Joins The Woke Train With \u2018Mission Equity\u2019\">virtual public meeting<\/a> about the conservation proposal on Monday night.

While critics argue that the proposal is illegal and would exclude mining, energy development, and agriculture, environmentalists have embraced the idea of conservation leases. The Biden administration remains under intense pressure from many Republicans to allow more drilling, but the proposed rule would put conserving government-owned lands on equal footing with other interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden administration is proposing the sale of conservation leases on federal lands to restore degraded habitat.
