Winning for the West’s natural treasures and wildlife.

9-30-26 Voices for the West — Pulse on Our Public Lands: Drilling Down on Trump’s Oil & Gas Push

30th of Sep 2026

We’re joined by Emma Yip, Staff Attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity’s Public Lands Law Center; Erik Molvar, Executive Director of Western Watersheds Project; and Sarah Stellberg, Staff Attorney at Advocates for the West, to discuss how the Trump administration and allies in Congress are pursuing sweeping changes to the laws, regulations, and policies that govern oil and gas development in an effort to “unleash American energy.” We cover how these changes seek to reshape public lands management across the West, their impacts on the ground, and how Advocates for the West is working with our conservation partners to enforce federal environmental laws and block destructive agency actions.
