Republicans on the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee on Tuesday previewed their objections to the Biden administration’s still-unreleased plan to conserve 30% of U.S. land and water by 2030.
President Joe Biden created what is commonly called the “30 by 30 plan” in a Jan. 27 executive order, but the administration hasn’t released details about how it will define protection or how the government would reach the goal. Committee Republicans complained Tuesday that those details were still lacking, but laid out the arguments they’ll likely use regardless of the details in the final plan.
The panel’s ranking member, Arkansas’ Bruce Westerman, said the forum was scheduled to closely follow the release of an administration report on the 30 by 30 plan that the executive order mandated be completed by April 27. That report has not been made public, leaving major questions about the initiative unanswered.
