Repeal attacks conservation as a core requirement for managing America’s 245 million acres of public lands
The following is a statement from Bobby McEnaney, Director of Land Conservation at NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council):
“This repeal ignores the public, ignores the law, and ignores the real needs of local communities and those whose lives and livelihoods are deeply connected to these natural resources. That means less protection for the clean drinking water, less protection for endangered wildlife that depend on healthy habitat, and less accountability when corporations leave these landscapes damaged and degraded.
