Trump administration wants to cancel Biden-era rule that elevated conservation on public land

The proposal opens millions of acres for resource use, reversing a 2024 rule that prioritized conservation to balance energy and land use, officials said.

  • Interior Secretary Doug Burgum proposed canceling a public land management rule that put conservation on equal footing with development.
  • The Biden-era rule allowed public property to be leased for restoration in the same way that oil companies lease land for drilling.
  • States like North Dakota sued to block the rule, and Trump's administration seeks to boost energy production from federal lands.
