The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming is offering this grant to develop crucial spatially explicit data layers, meticulously representing soundscapes and noise sources. This initiative specifically targets the Pinedale Anticline and Jonah Gas Fields, analyzing sound impacts from energy development between 2006 and 2011. This grant is for the primary purpose of creating essential environmental data that will directly inform and improve predictive habitat selection models for vital wildlife. The resulting comprehensive noise layers will significantly aid in identifying and defining additional mitigation opportunities, thereby enhancing critical conservation efforts for sage grouse habitats within the region. The project aims to provide robust insights into how sound pollution affects wildlife and to support more effective, data-driven habitat management strategies for long-term ecological health.
