I'll add that the Greater Sage Grouse is also at risk from lithium mining in Nevada and Oregon. A friend of mine participated in citizen-scientist lek observations a couple years ago, and saw for herself that there are leks within the boundaries of several claims at various levels of development. Very sad.

Thanks for this info.

Great info and great quotes.
Thanks so much! Yes, the folks at American Birds and Center for Biological Diversity were quite helpful.
