Biodiversity loss, pollution, and the climate crisis are straining our natural systems. To mitigate and prevent additional irreparable loss, efforts to protect 30 percent of our lands, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and marine systems by 2030 (30x30) have been launched.

In response to this call to act,“California has set an ambitious goal to protect 30 percent of California lands and coastal waters by 2030 and advance nature-based solutions to address climate change, equity and species loss. We can only achieve this by holistically examining the depth and breadth of these issues with input from a variety of stakeholders.” - California Secretary for Natural Resources, Wade Crowfoot.
