Summary:
- Researchers from the University of Idaho have found that cattle and sage-grouse can coexist on the same lands, challenging the common belief that the two are incompatible.
- The study showed that with proper grazing management, cattle and sage-grouse can share the same habitat without negatively impacting the sage-grouse population.
- This research provides important insights for land managers and policymakers, as it suggests that cattle ranching and sage-grouse conservation can be compatible, potentially leading to more sustainable land use practices.
