This is a huge win for us outdoor enthusiasts, conservationists, and explorers.
I can understand not wanting to sell off national parks, forests, etc., but I don't understand what purpose is served by BLM owning so much land.

It's more of a reserve; because when it's gone, there's no getting it back.
