The Department of the Interior is rescinding a 2024 rule that placed conservation on equal footing with industrial development on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management.Interior Secretary Doug Burgum argues the move will restore access for energy production, timber harvesting, and ranching across millions of acres in the US.Environmental groups warn the repeal will weaken protections for wildlife and water, while industry advocates claim it corrects a shift away from the established mandate for multiple use.
