For years, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers has been
working with sportsmen and women to conserve sage grouse and its sagebrush ecosystem. Now,
with a bad sage grouse rider being considered for inclusion in a
major defense bill, we’re stepping up once again – and need your help.
The rider language in the National Defense Authorization
Act, or NDAA, prohibits the Department of the Interior from listing the
sage grouse under the Endangered Species Act for 10 years. Sage grouse and
other conservation-related policies do not belong in defense bills, and the
rider would set a damaging precedent for similar packages as well as future
ESA listings.
Join
us in speaking up to keep sage grouse out of the NDAA. With your help, we can remove the bad sage
grouse and future ESA listing riders out of defense bills where they do not
belong.
