In this episode, we break down how Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) money generated from offshore oil and gas revenues and intended to permanently protect public lands is likely being diverted away from approved conservation projects.

Despite this, new Department of the Interior actions could block LWCF funds from being used, putting this and many other conservation projects at risk.
