    Firsthand Account of Ranchers Dealing with Wolf Imposed Disaster

    Today we were joined by Megan Richardson from the Slash Ranch. She will give us a rundown on what it has been like to have no wolf mitigation since the new Settlement between Environmental Organizations and the USFWS.  A settlement that effectively revoked the 10J part of the Mexican wolf recovery plan that ensures ranchers are given mitigation tools and removals for multiple and chronic livestock kills.  in 2015, the recovery plan and final rule allowed for removals of stock killing wolves.  The new settlement refused to take into account ranchers needs and burdens brought on by the program and has been allowing unmitigated unending livestock kills.  https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/uvkbqvcjgn6wvxsg/Megan_and_the_wolvesfinal764hb.mp3

    Buckle Up Colorado, The Wolf Is at Your Door.

    Western Watershed are they distorting the truth and maligning southwest ranchers. The things I have experienced and seen over the years has me questioning their methods.   Colorado ranchers have no idea of the giant pile of doo doo they can expect if they think their wolf program will be ethical and support their operations.  NM ranchers, still going and surviving, even after being maligned and liabled and threatened by govt. funded zealots.

    Covering the Supreme Court ruling on Sakett v. EPA and the BLM’s proposed Conservation and Landscape Health rules

    Howard Hutchinson from AZNM Coalition of Counties joins us to go over the coalitions work on the BLM's attempt to rewrite law and history to the detriment of multiple users of BLM lands.   But first an update on Sakett V. EPA the recent win in the US Supreme Court and what it means for property owners across the country trying to curtail government overreach. Comments on the proposed BLM rule are due June 20, so please gear up to make them soon.  We will be posting Howard's draft comments and the rule itself but start with the podcast and get your fix on the issues.  Here is a link supplied by Carolyn https://law.justia.com/codes/new-mexico/2021/chapter-19/article-3/section-19-3-13/list of laws the BLM will be breaking if they move forward with this effort.   It is extremely unfortunate that members of New Mexico’s congressional delegation do not understand the intent of congress on federal lands, and are willing to risk the stability of ranching and other multiple uses on these lands.  The following press release indicates there is no balance on our economically based federal lands and ranches.  This is not true theres massive wilderness designations and national parks already set aside for this supposed balance that other uses do not have access to.   ----more--------more----   Reps. Grijalva, Stansbury, Western Leaders Back BLM Rule Amidst Partisan Attacks Call to highlight rule's benefits at 1:00pm EST on Thursday June 15 after House committee hears misguided bill to block BLM 's plan restore balance to land management   This Thursday June 15 at 1:00pm EST / 11:00am MST public lands users, congressional leaders and policy experts will respond to claims made by opponents of the Bureau of Land Management’s new Public Lands Rule, which will be the subject of a House Natural Resources Committee hearing earlier that morning. Please RSVP to Chris Saeger (chris@bigmountainstrategy.com) to get call-in details for this opportunity to hear about the rule's benefits from these speakers: House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Arizona Rep.

Melanie Stansbury Keegan King, Founder and CEO Native Lands Institute James Kenna, Retired California State Director for the Bureau of Land Management Bailey Brennan, Public Lands Attorney, National Wildlife Federation Danielle Murray, Senior Policy and Legal Director, Conservation Lands Foundation Chris Marshall, Director of Research for Energy and Environment, Accountable.US BLM’s new rule puts conservation on an equal footing with other multiple uses of public lands. It allows land to be leased for conservation alongside grazing, drilling, mining and even more extractive uses of public lands. No valid existing rights to use BLM lands for these purposes will be affected. The rule seeks to correct a system that has been wildly imbalanced: 90% of BLM lands are open to drilling; 60% are leased for grazing; Only 14% are managed for conservation. Learn more about the campaign to balance public lands management through the new rule at ActNowForPublicLands.org.
