  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Service Position on Livestock Grazing and Working with Rangeland Owners to Conserve Sage-Grouse Author: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify the Service's perspective on the relationship between livestock grazing and the conservation of sagebrush ecosystems on private lands occurring within the range of greater sage-grouse. This document provides more specific guidance to Service staff as they carry out their conservation mission in this area, including the development and implementation of Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances (CCAs/CCAAs), Partners for Fish and Wildlife program projects, and other activities and technical assistance.
