Sage grouse also live in Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, N o rt h Da k o t a, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming and parts of Canada.

"And the rural economy is heavily dependent on those ranching families, who generaterevenues that help keep towns and schools running. What's going to happen to those rural communities?" he asked. The Center for Biological Diversity, which sued the service to protect the sage grouse, said the decision was long overdue.
