Protecting California’s lands and coastal waters—together
Power In Nature is a statewide coalition of more than 100 community groups, environmental and conservation organizations, land trusts, Indigenous organizations, and Tribal members dedicated to advancing California’s 30×30 commitment.
Our power in Nature
California must conserve 6 million acres of land and a half million acres of coastal waters by 2030.
It’s a big goal, but it’s actually possible. Together, we have the POWER to protect the California we love. We do it not just for the plants and animals, but because we are part of nature too. Healthy ecosystems are the lifeboat we’ll need as the climate changes.
Safeguarding biodiversity through 30x30
WHAT IS 30X30?
An international commitment ratified by 790 nations to protect 30% of the Earth’s lands and coastal waters by 2030. California has its own 30×30 strategy to protect our state’s remarkable biodiversity and increase access to nature’s benefits.
WHY IT MATTERS
Life depends on it. Scientists worldwide agree that to prevent the worst impacts of climate change and extinction, we must reach 30×30. California is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots. What happens locally, matters globally.
HOW WE WORK
The Power in Nature coalition works at the state and regional level to help make California’s 30×30 commItment a reality. We advocate for durable conservation, ongoing government funding, and equitable access to nature’s benefits.
happening now
Advocacy days, April 22-23
We’re bringing the voice of nature to the Capitol, from all corners of the state! California’s 30×30 funding is at risk, just as this important work is getting underway. We’re asking California’s legislators to restore deep funding reductions for conservation and climate resilience — and to support a Climate Bond now.
