The short explanation of this alert was:

The Greater Sage-grouse needs your help! Its population has declined as much as 93% from presumed historic levels due to habitat loss, the invasion of exotic species in the sagebrush steppe ecosystem, the pressure of drought, and the upswing of West Nile virus. Now, a new threat—accelerated oil and gas development in the bird's shrinking habitat—has stressed the Greater Sage-grouse population almost to the point of no return.

The governor of Wyoming, in the heart of the sage-grouse's habitat, recognized the need to protect this bird and released an executive order to conserve Greater Sage-grouse on state lands. Unfortunately, similar protections are absent on federal lands in Wyoming and other western states. It is now up to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to follow Wyoming's lead and give the sage-grouse a fighting chance. Instead, the BLM is continuing to sell mineral leases in core sage-grouse areas without necessary protections. Find out more.

Tell the Bureau of Land Management that it must take immediate steps to conserve sage-grouse on federal lands. Personalized letters have the most impact. Please edit the sample letter below to explain why protecting sage-grouse is important to you!
