First major overhaul of public lands grazing rule in a generation looks to cut out the public

The federal government is revamping its public lands grazing rules, aiming to boost livestock numbers across 155 million acres in the West. This move could limit public involvement in decision-making about how these lands are used, sparking concerns among local communities and conservationists. Historically, these lands have been managed with public input, but this overhaul suggests a shift towards more corporate control over grazing practices, which could have long-term ecological and economic impacts.
