A new Bureau of Land Management rule says that conservation is a 'use' of public land, just like grazing, mining or recreation. The State of Utah is ready to sue over it.

A rainbow appears in Valley of the Gods, a Bureau of Land Management-designated Area of Critical Environmental Concern, in 2020. A new rule from the BLM prioritizes the creation of ACECs for building resilience to climate change.

“Utah has a long track record of successful conservation and restoration of its public lands in tandem with local BLM offices,” said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox in a statement. “The added layers of red tape and federal bureaucracy embedded in the BLM’s Public Lands Rule create new roadblocks to conservation work. The health of Utah’s lands and wildlife will suffer as a result.

“This new rule poses a real threat to the lifestyle and industry as a whole,” said Troy Henrie, the Utah Farm Bureau’s southern regional manager. “In Utah, without public lands, we’re dead.” “It favors wealthy individuals and environmental groups, allowing them to lock up land that belongs to all Utahns,” Curtis said in a statement.

Naysayers argue that the BLM has already baked conservation standards into regulations for extractive industries., an off-roading and recreation advocacy group. “It’s heavily prioritized. There isn’t an imbalance there that needs to be balanced with this new rule.”, are public lands that the BLM has designated as requiring extra protections and special management. ACECs are unique; some may protect watersheds, while others may contain cultural resources.
