Will you join the hundreds of PEER supporters who are demanding that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) take immediate, decisive action to restore and protect the health of our western lands?
Next week, we’re sending a powerful message directly to BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning, urging her to take three concrete steps to address the severe ecological damage caused by overgrazing on BLM lands. Over 400 concerned individuals have already signed our petition, standing up for the protection of our public lands and the wildlife that depend on them. Will you add your voice to this crucial cause?
Poor land health isn’t just a local issue—it’s a major climate concern and a significant driver of biodiversity loss. The overgrazing of cattle is damaging ecosystems, depleting natural resources, and threatening the future of these vital landscapes. Now is the time for BLM to implement strong, science-based management practices that can make a real difference.
We have a collective responsibility to safeguard these valuable natural resources for future generations. Your support is crucial to ensuring that BLM steps up to meet this challenge.
Please join us in demanding bold action for the health of our lands. Sign the petition now!
Sincerely,
Tim Whitehouse
Executive Director
