Online from publisher., Author observes how the U.S. Bureau of Land Management is losing sight of the traditional mission of maintaining public lands and passing them intact to the next generation. "The BLM's mission is not ideological and does no give preference to certain land users. Its legal mandate calls for managing public lands for a variety of uses, treating energy generation and conservation equally. But now, the agency is losing sight of that mission."
