âAmerica the beautifulâ: Biden administration aims to protect 30% of US lands and waters by 2030
âThis is a critical opportunity for Americans to come together to build a new, more inclusive model of conservation to save nature, and ultimately ourselves,â said one advocate.
Climate and conservation advocacy groups joined business, Indigenous, and local political leaders on Thursday in welcoming a new federal report that details the Biden administration’s vision for conserving at least 30% of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.
“It’s a big deal that the Biden administration recognizes we’re in the midst of a wildlife extinction crisis and a climate emergency. This report is an important rallying cry,” said Randi Spivak, public lands director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “There’s no time to waste. We need to translate this vision into new and enduring conservation actions on the ground across our country.”
