On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we’ll rebroadcast our conversation about the Trump administration’s policies to drastically increase oil and gas production and other commercial developments on protected lands across the country – from the Boundary Waters of Minnesota, to the red rock country of Utah, to pristine wild places in California.
How is this administration, which is filled with industry executives, reshaping federal land management policies? What can be done to save public lands?
