Public lands are being leased for oil and gas extraction, just like they always have. However, over the next 20 years, “an estimated 126,000 new wells are planned.” Last week the Sportsmen for Responsible Energy Development (SFRED) published a report, “Hunting and Fishing Imperiled,” in which they name ten large parcels of public land that are under siege. The World Fishing Network has a nice overview of the report. You can get SFRED’s executive summary (4 page PDF file) or the full report (31 page PDF file).
