Federal Managers Authorize Cattle in San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area

Decision Prioritizes Livestock Over Wildlife

TUCSON, Ariz. –Today, the Bureau of Land Management issued final decisions to authorize livestock grazing in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, once again prioritizing private livestock use over wildlife, clean water, and native plants.

According to the conservation groups, these new decisions follow the Bureau’s long history of failing to comply with federal law, including the Bureau’s 2019 management plan that sanctioned destructive levels of livestock grazing on protected lands, putting the area’s remarkable resources at risk.
