Congress is attempting to use an unprecedented loophole to erase public land plans in Alaska, Montana & North Dakota. That means millions of acres of habitat, recreation areas, and Tribally-important lands could lose protections. If they succeed, this sets a dangerous precedent that threatens how ALL of our public lands are managed in the future. Our voices, and the voices of local communities and Tribes, are at risk of being silenced. We can’t let that happen.
In North Dakota and eastern Montana, these lands safeguard critical drinking water sources and habitat for wild life like mule-deer and sage grouse from drilling and coal mining pollution
In Alaska, the vast Central Yukon plan protects salmon-spawning grounds, caribou, and dall-sheep habitat, recreation areas, and lands vital to Alaska Native communities.
Congress is planning to use the little used Congressional Review Ac (CRA), which was established in 1966 to overturn “rules” issued by federal agencies. The purpose is to ensure agencies stick to Congress’s orginal intent when creating regulations pursuant to specific laws. However, it has never been used to overturn decision like land management plans before…
Using the CRA to overturn these plans is unprecedented and could block agencies from ever reinstating similar protections.
