Does anyone think this land won't be snapped up by big ranchers, developers, and oil/gas?

It also looks like most of the land is in states that vote blue. Not a coincidence.

Then there's this:

"The bill sets up relatively under-resourced state and local governments to lose open bidding wars to well-heeled commercial interests. It also fails to give sovereign Tribal Nations the right of first refusal to bid on lands, even for areas that are a part of their traditional homelands or contain sacred sites."

Its all about greed and spite.
