Nature's Beacon Spring Edition, Taking Care of our Land & Water

Nature's Beacon April 2020 Insight Brief
“Senate Resolution, Thirty by Thirty to Save Nature”
Senator Udall (NM) and Senator Bennet (CO) introduced this last October that would work to protect 30% of our land and 30% of our ocean space by 2030. Currently, only 12% of US land and 26% US ocean is protected.
The general aim is to stem the tide of species extinction, increase biodiversity and importantly bolster our natural resources to combat climate change.
Stabilizing the eco-systems that provide billions of dollars in eco-services is an economic proposition. A healthier population is more economically robust. The economic boost benefits recreation including hunters and anglers. Many sectors benefit.
In a time that we will be eventually looking to a new era in an economy that creates the bridge that benefits so many stakeholders and business types, this is a dynamic and bold initiative to study and to move forward.
Sincerely,
Tom Koehler
