SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 216(a) of Executive Order 14008 established the first-ever national conservation goal, calling for the conservation of ‘‘at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.’’ In accordance with Executive Order 14008, the Department, USDA, DOC, and CEQ released the Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful report on May 6, 2021. The report calls for a decade-long national initiative to advance locally led conservation and restoration on public, private, and Tribal lands and waters. It acknowledges—and celebrates—the wide-ranging contributions that diverse conservation efforts can make to the initiative and its goals of tackling climate change, sustaining biodiversity, and increasing equitable access to nature. The report emphasizes that there is a continuum of conservation in America that aligns with the guiding principles of the initiative. These core principles commit the effort to: • Pursue a Collaborative and Inclusive Approach to Conservation PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Corporate over-payments (Eff. 1–1–99) (percent) Over-payments (percent) 4 3 4 5 6 5 3 3 2 3 4 5 4 2 • Conserve America’s Lands and Waters for the Benefit of All People • Support Locally Led and Locally Designed Conservation Efforts • Honor Tribal Sovereignty and Support the Priorities of Tribal Nations • Pursue Conservation and Restoration Approaches that Create Jobs and Support Healthy Communities • Honor Private Property Rights and Support the Voluntary Stewardship Efforts of Private Landowners and Fishers • Use Science as a Guide • Build on Existing Tools and Strategies with an Emphasis on Flexibility and Adaptive Approaches The report also outlines the six areas of focus that elected officials, Tribal leaders, and stakeholders lifted up as early opportunities for successful collaboration: Creating more parks and safe outdoor opportunities in naturedeprived communities; supporting Tribally led conservation and restoration priorities; expanding collaborative conservation of fish and wildlife habitats and corridors; increasing access for outdoor recreation; incentivizing and rewarding the voluntary conservation efforts of fishers, ranchers, farmers, and forest owners; and creating jobs by investing in restoration and resilience. The report specifies that an interagency working group will develop an Atlas through interagency collaboration to develop and track a clear baseline of information on lands and waters that are conserved or restored. The Atlas is intended to be an accessible, updated, and comprehensive tool through which to measure the progress of conservation, stewardship, and restoration efforts in a manner that reflects the goals and principles of the initiative. The interagency group, co-led by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department as well as USDA and NOAA, in partnership with CEQ and other Federal agencies, will develop the Atlas with input from the public, States, Tribal Nations, scientists, and a wide range of stakeholders.
