Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership

Sportsmen are a credible, respected voice in the West, able to influence the decisions of federal public land managers that affect fish and wildlife habitat. This renewal grant would support the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership’s efforts to protect important fish and wildlife habitat on western public lands from being developed for oil and gas. The Partnership would work closely with other hunting and fishing organizations, most notably the National Wildlife Federation and Trout Unlimited, to protect fragile habitat. It would also ensure the Department of Interior fully implements oil and gas leasing reforms that have been languishing in the agency for almost two years.

Hunting and fishing organizations are exceptionally credible Western voices. This grant would support the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership efforts to protect important fish and wildlife habitat on Western public lands from being leased for oil and gas development. The Partnership would work with hunting and fishing organzations to protect important habitat and ensure that recently adopted Department of the Interior oil and gas leasing reforms are not weakened.
