Mayors Support 30x30

Protecting 30% of America’s Land and Ocean by 2030

I, Mayor ______of ______, support local, state, and federal action to confront America’s nature crisis by pursuing a goal of conserving at least 30 percent of our nation’s lands and ocean by 2030.

Nature is indispensable to the health and prosperity of every community in America. We depend on our forests and streams for clean drinking water and clean air. Our lands are a place of cultural, ecological, and sacred resources that have sustained humanity for generations. Our ocean supplies wild fish that feed our country and provide endless wonder and enjoyment. Our rivers, mountains, and deserts are where families unplug and reconnect. Our parks, open spaces, beaches, trails, and public lands enrich communities’ quality of life and power America’s outdoor recreation economy. Our very existence depends upon the survival of a rich diversity of natural life.

Achieving 30x30 will require an ambitious and inclusive movement that engages local, state, national and Tribal leaders, as well as private landowners, as part of the solution. Efforts to conserve, protect, and restore our natural world will be guided by science, protect private property rights, honor Tribal sovereignty, and engage local communities to ensure that the benefits of nature are equitably shaped and shared by all.

Positive, bipartisan, community-driven conservation efforts are already happening in our community. I pledge to continue to pull stakeholders together—recognizing this goal will take action at the neighborhood, community, state, and national level. Together, we can and must protect nature for generations to come.
