Comments Off on Biden Administration Debuts Decade of Conservation WASHINGTON, DC, May 7, 2021 (ENS) – The Biden administration has proposed a nationwide goal to conserve 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030 – the nation’s first conservation goal. The proposal for a voluntary, locally-led “America the Beautiful Initiative” is contained in a new report calling for a decade-long effort to support conservation and restoration across public, private, and Tribal lands and waters. Submitted to the National Climate Task Force, the report was developed by the U.S. Departments of the Interior, Agriculture and Commerce, and the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
