The White House hailed what it called “significant progress” on national conservation goals in the first year of its America the Beautiful initiative in a report Monday, including the restoration of two national monuments.
The initiative, announced in May, is a 10-year federal conservation program aiming to eventually release annual “State of Nature” reports and develop an “American Conservation and Stewardship Atlas” of land and water management data. It served as an update to the administration’s earlier “30x30” initiative, which aimed to preserve 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030, although this remains a stated goal of the program.
