Zoos, aquariums, and museums, together with people from across the country, are applauding the vision of the “America the Beautiful” initiative, which includes a new national goal of conserving and restoring at least 30% of U.S. lands, waters, and ocean by 2030.
But to achieve this goal, we need your help! Your representatives need to hear directly from you!
As organizations committed to animal care and conservation, zoos, aquariums, and museums know that achieving this goal is essential to saving species from extinction. We also know that achieving this goal will bring many other benefits, from stabilizing our climate to providing our communities with increased access to the outdoors. And the ”America the Beautiful” initiative shows us how we can do so through collaboration and inclusion, respect for the knowledge and wisdom of Indigenous peoples, and support for a wide array of voluntary and locally-led efforts. Working together, this goal is well within our reach.
Please fill out the form below to show your support! We’ll make sure your views get to your representatives in Washington, DC.
