In early May, the Biden-Harris administration outlined a vision for how the United States can work collaboratively to conserve and restore the lands, waters, and wildlife that support and sustain the nation. The recommendations are contained in a report released today, outlining a locally-led and voluntary nationwide conservation goal to conserve 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.

The report calls for a decade-long effort to support locally-led and voluntary conservation and restoration efforts across public, private, and Tribal lands and waters in order to create jobs and strengthen the economy’s foundation; tackle the climate and nature crises, and address inequitable access to the outdoors.

The National Fish Habitat Action Plan that the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) was predicated on, is mentioned on pages 19-20 of the America the Beautiful Report. The Action plan is listed as a recommendation in the report for expanding collaborative fish and wildlife habitats and corridors.
