Advocates for the West filed for a Preliminary Injunction to halt livestock grazing during the 2011 season on half a million acres on the Green Mountain Common allotment (GMCA) in Wyoming in an attempt to stop further degradation of the area.
A core area for sage-grouse and major corridor for big game migrations, the GMCA is the last unfenced public lands of this size in the lower 48. The Bureau of Land Management has allowed damaging livestock grazing to degrade watersheds, soils and wildlife.
