“A national 30x30 goal will ensure that all Americans, regardless of their race or status, will have access to our pristine natural world. Frontier communities in New Mexico and across the country will thrive. The outdoor economy will grow, creating clean, healthy jobs. Nature can heal, and we can help to lessen the impact of the current climate crisis, ensuring clean air and clean water for our children and grandchildren.”
