Take Action: Protect the Conservation and Landscape Health Rule
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is working to rescind the 2024 Conservation and Landscape Health Rule — a science-based policy that safeguards ecosystems, restores degraded lands, and ensures balanced, sustainable management of our public lands.
If repealed, these protections could be lost — opening the door to unchecked extractive uses like mining, drilling, and overgrazing.
Join ASLA in urging the Department of the Interior to maintain this critical rule that protects wildlife, clean water, and resilient landscapes.
🗓 Sign on before November 10 by Noon.
