The situation

What’s happening to Montana Sage-Grouse Habitat

The greater sage-grouse has lost 80% of its population in a single generation. Six million acres of Montana sagebrush steppe are the backbone of what remains, and the rollback of management plans is clearing the way for oil and gas drilling to fragment these last strongholds. The bird needs vast, undisturbed landscapes. It is getting drill pads.
