OSTI ID:5225754
This report describes management actions needed to minimize damage to the Nation's vast public rangelands. These lands have been deteriorating for years and, for the most part, are not improving. Deterioration can be attributed principally to poorly managed grazing by livestock--horses, cattle, sheep, and goats. Livestock have been permitted to graze on public rangelands year after year without adequate regard to the detrimental effect on range vegetation. Authority to graze livestock on public rangeland is granted to operators by Federal permits, licenses, or leases issued for periods of 1 to 10 years.
