Biden Admin Faces Backlash Over Plan to Auction Off Publicly-Owned Oil and Gas Leases on National Wildlife Refuges. In a move that has sparked widespread criticism, the Biden administration has announced plans to auction off publicly-owned oil and gas leases on national wildlife refuges, sparking concerns about the impact on the environment and wildlife habitats. The decision, which has been met with opposition from conservation groups and lawmakers, marks a significant departure from the administration's prior commitments to protect and preserve America's natural treasures. Critics argue that the plan will not only contribute to climate change but also undermine efforts to conserve endangered species and protect precious ecosystems. As the administration faces mounting pressure to reconsider its decision, the fate of these cherished wildlife refuges hangs in the balance.
