I'll apologize if I'm wrong, but this is not true. Bundy has lost every federal court case on this matter.
And, I may be wrong about it having been a federal court. But, it was back when the blm used the desert tortoise as a way to reduce cattle allotments.
That isn't beneficial to the tortoise, since they benefit from the cows in a way (they eat bugs that thrive in the dung, and keeping the forage to a lower, not desecated, level helps the tortoise to travel), and the water developed by the ranchers also improves tortoise habitat.
Anyway, the ruling was in Bundy's favor, but the case did not cover such a large scope as the more recent ones.
