More than one million acres of California's public lands are now one step closer to future oil and gas drilling.

Last week, the Bureau of Land Management finalized sweeping oil and gas leasing plans that open federal public lands across 17 California counties, including areas near Carrizo Plain National Monument, Los Padres National Forest, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks—to future leasing.

The agency rushed these plans through without California's required Governor's Consistency Review, without responding to formal administrative protests, and despite conflicts with California's fracking ban and health protections. It also dismissed nearly 500,000 public comments opposing expanded oil and gas development.

While these decisions do not authorize drilling today, they mark a major step toward future lease sales and could significantly limit opportunities for public oversight as the process moves forward.

California's public lands belong to all of us—not the highest bidder. ForestWatch and our partners are evaluating next steps to defend the places, wildlife, and communities that depend on them.
