New Story Map Report!

On the doorstep: How a surge in drilling nominations threatens America’s public lands

A new story map report created by Rocky Mountain Wild (Alison worked hard on this!) and the Center for Western Priorities shows how the Trump administration’s giveaway of national public lands for oil and gas drilling is impacting wildlife, outdoor recreation, and cultural resources across the West. The report uses eight case studies in five Western states to demonstrate how oil and gas development is encroaching on protected public lands under the Trump administration’s policies.

Show the Trump Administration that you value the opportunity to engage by commenting on a proposed oil and gas lease sale and learn more in our Oil and Gas Toolbox for Activists.
