    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released the Record of Decision (ROD) for managing the Greater Sage-Grouse habitat in Wyoming. After extensive planning and environmental processes over the past decade, the BLM concluded that no new land use planning is required and decided not to amend existing land use plans. This decision aligns with the 2019 Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment and is not open to appeal or protest. The ROD also summarizes considerations on a range of issues, such as environmental impacts and compensatory mitigation strategies for the habitat.

    Simple Explanation

    The BLM has decided how they'll take care of a special bird called the Greater Sage-Grouse in Wyoming, and they think they don't need to change their old plans. They say people can't argue or change this decision anymore.
