What does the BLM Public Land Rule mean for tribal stewardship of public lands? - High Country News
Briefly

The Public Lands Rule elevates conservation's status as a valid land 'use,' directs BLM to explore co-stewardship with tribes, employ Indigenous knowledge, and standardizes nominations for Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs).
