The Biden administration is moving to let conservationists lease government land for restoration. It's part of an effort to make conservation an “equal” to other uses of public lands such as drilling and livestock grazing.

In addition to its surface land holdings, the bureau regulates publicly-owned underground mineral reserves — such as coal for power plants and lithium for renewable energy — across more than 1 million square miles .

“We are pleased to see the agency recognizing what the law already states — conservation is a vital use of our public lands,” he said.
