…John Leshy, a expert who served in the Dept during the Carter & Clinton admins noted that the state was the only leaseholder left in the . The admin could have standing to cancel those leases if it found that reviews & other compliance measures on the leases had been inadequate.

One lease sale was held, but most companies stayed on the sidelines. The sale attracted only three bidders, including the state.

President , on his first day in office, signed an executive order halting & later suspended the leases granted under the admin.

Conserving 30% of the world’s land by 2030 will be “challenging” if croplands continue to expand in protected areas at current rates, according to a new study covered by Carbon Brief. The research shows that cropland has expanded at an “alarming” rate in protected areas between 2000 and 2019 – as much as 58-fold over nearly two decades.
