5 big conservation and climate wins...so far!

Recently, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved a plan to ban new oil and gas development on the Thompson Divide along Colorado's Western Slope-a huge conservation win many years in the making. That was only the first in a series of big victories.

Thanks to a congressional deadline approaching in the coming weeks, we've seen a slew of big conservation steps by the Biden administration, ranging from a final BLM Public Lands Rule to new protections in Alaska's Western Arctic. And more could be coming soon.

Taken together, these new rules and actions amount to a holistic approach to conserving public lands while embracing their potential to help the U.S. transition to a clean energy economy.
