#ClivenBundy #GoldButte #LivestockGrazing
If you are going to mitigate development around Las Vegas by protecting other lands, you're supposed to, you know, PROTECT them.
Paving over mitigation lands for industrial-scale solar projects and allowing decades of #ClivenBundy's trespass #livestock grazing in #GoldButte isn't how you offset habitat loss elsewhere.
New lawsuit filed. More info at link: https://westernwatersheds.org/2023/09/conservationists-challenge-failure-to-deliver-desert-tortoise-protections-in-southern-nevada/
A deal isn't a deal unless the parties hold to it. In this case, the cows aren't gone, and the solar development that was authorized in exchange for their removal is happening anyway. #ProtectGoldButte #GoldButte #Nevada #DesertTortoise #Solar
Western Watersheds Project took the first step today in launching an Endangered Species Act lawsuit challenging government agency failures to protect the rare Mojave desert tortoise in southern Nevada by filing a Notice of Intent to sue several federal agencies. The challenge focuses on the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (“Conservation Plan”), and Bureau of Land Management failures to protect key desert tortoise habitats from industrial solar energy projects and the impacts of Cliven Bundy’s cattle, which continue to trespass on federal grazing allotments closed to livestock to protect the desert tortoise.
