Public Lands
What are public lands? Land held in trust for the American people by the federal government.
30 x 30 Project
Biden administration has set a goal to conserve 30% of the nation’s lands and waters by 2030.
In the US, we develop an area the size of a football field every 30 seconds. This national and global problem is causing mass extinction of animals, plants and insects. Right now, only an estimated 15% of the world’s land and 7% of the ocean are protected.

Carbon Sequestration
Carbon sequestration is the capture and long-term storage of carbon dioxide (CO2).
CO2 is a greenhouse gas and is a major cause of climate change. Trees, seaweed (like kelp) and the ocean all sequester carbon.
