"Greater Sage-Grouse conservation is most effective when we look at complete ecological systems without regard to fence lines and jurisdictions. Our success in Wyoming has been built by having everyone at the table, and by using the best science and local knowledge available. WYO BASIS is another valuable tool—more than just a map; it is a shared, intuitive lens that empowers stakeholders to coordinate resources, balance complex land use objectives, and effectively manage the sagebrush steppe Wyomingites all cherish."
