Not exactly.

They want him off the Bunkerville range so that the area can become a preserve to compensate for destruction caused by projects at the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone.

"The Gold Butte ACEC [Area of Critical Environmental Concern] is preliminarily recommended as the best recipient location for regional mitigation from the Dry Lake SEZ [Solar Energy Zone]." (Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone, Proposed Mitigation Actions and Locations, page 29)

I've combined maps showing the Gold Butte ACEC[1], Bunkerville[2], and a relief map. The maps overlay each other using I-15 and Lake Mead for alignment and scaling. Although not perfect it is close.

Let me know if any of these links no longer work.

In other words, it is the government that is destroying the environment, not the rancher.

Still up for fools to see that it is all “lawful and tidy”.

I’m slightly color blind but the map shows areas where the impoundment notice applies? Is it the yellow grazing allotment land? The feds drove those cattle all the way from there to the interstate? Fools.
