Bad news for these dancing birds: The Trump administration released draft plans yesterday stripping away protections for the greater sage grouse on about 50 million acres of public lands across the West. Trump is putting these beautiful dancing birds in his crosshairs, throwing open the doors of our public lands to more mining and fossil fuels. We intend to stop him Protecting the greater sage grouse and its habitat benefits hundreds of other species that depend on the Sagebrush Sea ecosystem. That means, the Trump administration's plan harms pygmy rabbits, pronghorns, elk, mule deer, golden eagles, and many more cherished species. P.S. Turn your sound up to hear their distinctive swishing, hooting and popping sounds.
