Quotes from the article:

"Public Employees for Environmental Responsiblity (PEER) released an interactive map..."

"According to the map, 29% of allotted land, or 16% of the number of allotments, has failed to meet BLM standards of rangeland health due to impacts of livestock. Those asseessments are based on a specific set of criteria, including things like watershed conditions, water quality, soil health and habitat for at-risk species."
