Public Rangelands

Continue To Deteriorate


Department of the     Interior             6%
Bureau of Land Management 0           1


The Nation's public rangelands have been
deteriorating for years and, for the most part,
are not improving. Deterioration can be attri-
buted principally to poorly managed livestock
grazing. These lands need to be protected
through more aggressive and effective manage-
ment by the Bureau of Land Management.

To minimize further damage the Bureau
should
    --be sure that existing land management
    plans meet current needs;

    --discontinue  destructive  continuous
    grazing on lands;
    --seek assistance from livestock operators
    in providing essential range improve-
    ment facilities; and


--keep the Congress informed about its
actions to improve range conditions
and the adverse effects of insufficient
staffing through the annual report, as
requiredby law.  /I    I i .  ,
