An unprecedented, landscape-scale conservation effort across the western United States has significantly reduced threats to the greater sage-grouse across 90 percent of the species' breeding habitat and enabled the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to conclude that the charismatic rangeland bird does not warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act.

Efforts by private landowners in voluntary sage grouse conservation have been an important element in the campaign. Through the Sage Grouse Initiative, led by NRCS, landowners have conserved more than 4.4 million acres of habitat since 2010.
