Advocates' Webinar(s)

On Wednesday, 25.Okt, I attended  Advocates for the West’s Voices for the West webinar titled, Pillars of Conservation: Advocacy, Litigation, and Public Education.

It's always inspiring to see the committment and energy of these folks.

This meeting included Mark Salvo from Oregon Natural Desert Association and Advocates' senior attorney, Todd Tucci.

A recording of the webinar can be accessed on Advocates' YouTube Channel, along with previous Voices for the West programs.

It's hoped you'll share this latest program with your friends, family, and whomever you think might appreciate their work.

Also, the October 2022 Voices for the West webinar focused on the study "Livestock Use on Public Lands in the Western USA Exacerbates Climate Change: Implications for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation" with co-author Marc Liverman, and which was referenced during last night's program, can be found here. 

Thanks again for joining us! We look forward to seeing you at our next Voices for the West webinar in December. For details on upcoming events, or to receive updates on our work, you may sign up here.

BLM Grants Grazing Leases illegally

https://advocateswest.org/demanding-that-blm-step-up-range-health-protections/

Advocates for the West filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for its failure to abide by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act to determine the prioritization and timing of environmental analyses for livestock grazing allotments on public lands. This has resulted in widespread delinquency in assessing environmental conditions and addressing resource damage caused by overgrazing across vast stretches of the American West.

Advocates for the West is representing Western Watersheds Project and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) in the case.
