An annotated archive of 190+ primary sources spanning science, policy, legislation, journalism, and firsthand accounts.
Every source in this library has been evaluated for what it shows and what it misses. We include sources that complicate our position. We annotate advocacy materials from all sides as such. Priority is given to primary sources — government data, peer-reviewed science, legislative text — over secondary accounts.

Peer-reviewed range ecology, population dynamics, fertility control efficacy, ecological impact studies, and veterinary science.
GAO audits, NAS reviews, BLM program assessments, congressional research service reports, and federal agency data.
Federal statutes, appropriations riders, proposed bills, regulatory text, and state-level actions. Annotated for what each measure does and doesn't do.
Investigative and long-form coverage from High Country News, WyoFile, Western Ag Reporter, national press, and local outlets — annotated for framing and gaps.
Documentaries, BLM public briefings, range science lectures, and advocacy films — all identified by perspective with honest annotations.
The library is continuously updated. If you have a source we've missed — including one that challenges our position — use the suggest link below.
Every source is annotated for its central finding or argument — stated as accurately as possible, including when that finding supports positions we disagree with.
We note methodological limitations, funding sources, publication context, and what the source fails to address. Peer-reviewed science is not exempt from this — study design matters.
Every source is labeled by perspective: independent science, government data, pro-management advocacy, anti-processing advocacy, industry position, or journalism. Advocacy materials are not excluded — they are identified.
Sources are ranked by how foundational they are to understanding the issue. Essential sources — the NAS 2013 report, key GAO audits, the 1971 Act — are flagged for readers who want the shortest path to the most important material.
If you know of a government report, peer-reviewed paper, journalism piece, or firsthand account we've missed — including one that challenges our position — we want to hear about it. Anonymous submissions are accepted.
