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

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

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

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

  8. The BLM partitioned the planning strategy into 15 subparts.

  9. 1 of the 15 draft plans would require protective 4-mile lek buffers for oil and gas development

  10. of the 15 draft plans would identify and protect sage-grouse winter habitat 0

  11. % of priority sage-grouse habitat is proposed for special designation 0.1
