More than a century after the U.S. started selling oil leases on public lands, the Biden administration is seeking to let conservationists lease government property to restore it.
The idea is to make conservation “equal” in priority to other uses of public lands such as drilling and livestock grazing.
Tracy Stone-Manning, director of the Bureau of Land Management, told The Associated the proposed changes address rising pressure from climate change and development. She said it would make conservation “equal” to grazing, drilling and other uses while not interfering with them. Brian St. George, acting assistant director for the bureau, said the conservation leases would not “lock up land in perpetuity.”U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican who tried to block Stone-Manning’s 2021 Senate confirmation, says the proposed rule is illegal.
“It makes conservation an equal among the multiple uses that we manage for,” Stone-Manning said. “There are rules around how we do solar development. There are rules around how we do oil and gas. There have not been rules around how we deliver on the portions of that say, ‘Manage for fish and wildlife habitat, manage for clean water.’”

Biden to Graduates of Historically Black Howard University: US History Hasn't Been a ‘Fairy Tale'President Joe Biden has told graduates of Howard University that American history hasn’t always been a “fairy tale” and that “racism has torn us apart.” As Biden spoke at Saturday’s commencement in Washington, more than a dozen graduates stood with their backs to him holding signs in silent protest over what they said were many forms of white supremacist violence. One sign named Jordan Neely, the New York City subway performer who died after he was restrained in a chokehold by another passenger.
