The basic gambit is the environmental group sues the federal agency which pays the environmental group and stops any for profit activity on that land by court decree.

The owners of the land, impoverished by new restrictions and prohibitions are forced to sell the land because they cannot make ends meet, the environmental group or proxies move in and make 'offers' of a fraction of the productive land's value, the land is purchased by the environmental group (using settlement money). The land may then be sold at a profit or retained or 'donated' to the Government.

It is an incestuous and diabolical relationship designed to eliminate private property.

It also feeds on the donations of well-meaning but often misguided people who think they are doing good for nature/critters/the planet/conservation.

Teddy Roosevelt started this. The federal government had no Constitutional authority to lock away huge tracts of land. Progressive politicians have been destroying liberty long before the Won.
