The Department of the Interior announced on Wednesday that it is repealing the Biden administration ’s Public Land Rule, meant to boost conservation, to instead prioritize using public land for multiple purposes, including grazing, recreation, and energy development.

The Biden administration finalized the Public Land Rule, also known as the Conservation and Landscape Health Rule, in 2024. The regulation was imposed by the Bureau of Land Management, prioritizing conservation and land restoration. It directed the agency to manage for landscape health and limit the organizations and individuals who can obtain mitigation leases on these lands.
