On September 11, 2025, the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published a proposed rule to rescind the Conservation and Landscape Health Rule, issued in 2024. The 2024 rule set out a “policy for the BLM to build and maintain the resilience of ecosystems on public lands in three primary ways: (1) protecting the most intact, functioning landscapes; (2) restoring degraded habitat and ecosystems; and (3) using science and data as the foundation for management decisions across all plans and programs.” As one of its main justifications for rescinding the rule, BLM claims the 2024 rule "vests too much discretion in individual authorizing officers to preclude other, productive uses, such as grazing, mining, and energy development."
