Overgrazing Plagues Navajo Western Agency Rangeland
Western Navajo Agency officials warn extensive rangeland degradation from long term overgrazing will persist under current grazing practices despite drought. Unbranded horses, chronic trespass, soil erosion, and noxious weeds worsen the problem. Funding shortfalls and weak support hinder management, while permits remain based on 1930s range capacity. Proposals include better grazing methods and creating drought tolerant forage reserves as a long term fix.
