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.”

In Wednesday afternoon May 5 press conference, Governor Jared Polis, legislative leaders, and local early childhood parents and leaders unveiled a comprehensive early childhood proposal for Colorado; a new, cabinet-level state agency focused on early childhood. While it won’t even receive budget consideration until the 2022 legislative session, supporters are focused on gaining bipartisan support for the initiative.
“Every child deserves the opportunity to develop their full potential and we know that development starts very early on. As we power the Colorado comeback, we’re going to need every single Colorado mind and that includes our youngest ones,” said Governor Jared Polis. This new agency is a strong step to streamline access and elevate the importance of the early years to help ensure that every family can access preschool and high-quality early learning and care.”
