"Climate change and encroaching development continue to threaten biodiversity.
At the same time, Westerners saw dozens of success stories in 2024. Two
national monuments were expanded in California, while conservation gained equal
footing with mining and drilling under the Bureau of Land Management’s Public
Lands Rule. Alaska saw half of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska protected
from new oil and gas leases, and the previous approval for the Ambler Road
project in the Brooks Range was rescinded. Elsewhere in the region, fish
returned to their former habitats and swam off the Endangered Species List,
while wolf and gray whale populations continued to grow."
