Scientists say protecting 30% of our lands and coastal waters by 2030 can protect and restore California’s natural places for plants and animals, help keep our ocean clean, and restore needed balance to our environment. With the Pathways Report, our Governor and Resources Agency have already taken important steps toward achieving 30×30 for California through an equitable approach.
An overwhelming number of Californians support this goal. Now, we need to work together and hold our leaders accountable for carrying out a 30×30 plan that achieves real progress quickly—and leverage this moment to foster more equitable access to nature, as well as the benefits of climate resilience and biodiversity.
