1 The National Greater Sage-Grouse Planning Strategy

2 Lek: Swedish for “mating place”

3 50 % of sagebrush habitat has been lost since European settlement

4 % of the most important remaining sage- grouse habitat is at risk of energy development 44

5 % of sage-grouse habitat is subject to grazing, with profound impacts on the ecosystem 91

6 % of sagebrush invaded by cheatgrass, which renders habitat virtually worthless to sage-grouse 50

7 The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers approximately half of remaining sagebrush steppe in the American West. Greater sage-grouse range BLM lands

9 The BLM partitioned the planning strategy into 15 subparts.

11 of the 15 draft plans would require protective 4- mile lek buffers for oil and gas development 1
