Controversial Land Sale in GOP Budget Proposal Faces Opposition

In the latest iteration of President Trump's financial plan, a major portion of federally managed lands in the western United States is slated for sale, sparking significant pushback from environmental advocates.

Environmental Concerns Rise Over Land Sale Proposal

The proposed legislation involves over two million acres of federal land being transitioned to private hands, with possibilities for various forms of redevelopment. Conservationists express grave concerns over the impact of such actions on the environment.

Voices Against the Bill

Benji Backer, who leads Nature Is Nonpartisan, spoke on the show 'The Takeout' about the environmentalist community's strong disapproval. Critics argue that the sale would undermine conservation efforts and lead to irreversible ecological damage.
