U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell today released a comprehensive, science-based strategy to address the increasing threat of wildfires that are damaging vital sagebrush landscapes and productive rangelands in the West.<\/p>\n

(The greater sage-grouse is the largest grouse in North America. Its range is sagebrush country in the western United States and southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada.)<\/p>\n

The Strategy details a more focused, coordinated and collaborative approach for rangeland fire management, particularly in the Great Basin region of Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Oregon and California.<\/p>\n

The final report, An Integrated Rangeland Fire Management Strategy<\/a>, focuses on reducing the size, severity and cost of rangeland fires, addressing the spread of cheatgrass and other invasive species that exacerbate the threat of fire, and positioning fire management resources for more effective rangeland fire response. Today\u2019s long-term action plan builds upon an Initial Report<\/a>, issued March 10, that detailed immediate actions Interior\u2019s bureaus and partners are taking to address the threat of rangeland fire to sagebrush landscapes before and during the 2015 wildfire season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe now have a fully integrated Strategy among federal, state, tribal and community partners that provides a set of actions to take now and in the future to fight rangeland fires across the West,\u201d said Secretary Jewell, who was joined by Idaho Governor C. L. \u201cButch\u201d Otter and Jim Hubbard, U.S. Forest Service, Deputy Chief for State and Private Forestry at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in making the announcement. \u201cThis roadmap takes a comprehensive and scientific approach to protect against some of the most intense wildfires that are damaging the American West\u2019s productive rangelands and sagebrush landscapes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jewell has been working closely with western leaders and federal and other partners to improve rangeland fire-fighting capacity at all levels and to encourage proactive partnerships with ranchers, farmers, rural communities and other landowners.<\/p>\n

\u201cHabitat degradation due to wildfire and invasive species is the primary threat to sage-grouse in Idaho,\u201d Governor Otter said. \u201cAs you know, Rangeland Fire Protection Associations (RFPAs) are an integral part of Idaho\u2019s sage-grouse conservation Strategy. They\u2019ve already impacted the BLM\u2019s ability to manage wildfire by reducing response times. In fact, several times during last year\u2019s fire season, the BLM arrived just in time to help the RFPA crew clean up. Before creating RFPAs, these fires more than likely would have run out of control and burned a lot more habitat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUSDA Forest Service will work with our partners within the Department of Interior, as well as state, tribal and local firefighting organizations to support wildland fire management operations in sagebrush landscapes,\u201d said Deputy Chief Jim Hubbard. \u201cThese cooperators are essential to ensuring that every wildfire receives an appropriate, risk informed, and effective response regardless of the jurisdiction.\u201d<\/p>\n
