HISTORY: DEBUNKING MYTHS; DRAWING PARALLELS Historically, public lands have almost always served to unify, not divide, the country (Leshy, Debunking Myths 2018) o The breathing space of the Nation (Nixon 1971) From the beginning, both Congress and the Executive Branch viewed public lands as a means of meeting national policy objectives o Common schools and land grant universities o Watershed protection for urban residents and irrigators alike o Places of redemption and healing, individually and communally - e.g., Yosemite (Lincoln 1864); Yellowstone (Grant 1872)

HISTORY: DEBUNKING MYTHS; DRAWING PARALLELS o Conservation of birds, fish, and wildlife - Pribilof Isl. (fur seals 1869) - Afognak Isl. (forest & fish reserve, Harrison 1892) - Lacey Act (1900) - Pelican Isl. Reserve (Roosevelt 1903) - Game and Bird Preserves Protection Act (Refuge Trespass Act) (1906) - Three Arch Rocks, Klamath, Malheur Bird Reservations, OR (Roosevelt 1907-08) - Bison Fence (Wichita Forest Reserve, OK (1907); Nat l Bison Range, MT (1908) - Gila Wilderness (1924) (1964) - Endangered Species Preservation Act (1966) - Endangered Species Act (1973)

A DIFFERENCE OF DEGREE OR SOMETHING ELSE? Jan. 22, 2018. Secretary Zinke signed an agreement for King Cove, Alaska, to build a road through Izembek Wildlife Refuge. In 2013, Secretary Jewell rejected a proposal to build the $75 million road. In 1998, Secretary Babbitt agreed to provide $40 million to King Cover to upgrade its health clinic and buy hovercraft instead of a road to nowhere. Apr. 4, 2017. Trump stripped away protections implemented by Obama [through FWS rulemaking] for wolves, bears and other predators on wildlife refuges in Alaska. The bill, adopted by Congress [per the CRA] and signed by Trump, allows wolves and pups to be killed in their dens... and bears to be gunned down at bait stations.? Mar. 3, 2017. Zinke added a few Old West touches to his 1 st day as secretary. After riding in on a horse, he voiced concern about hunting being only for land-owning elite. And later revoked the Obama ban on lead ammunition on federal lands.
