<\/a><\/p>\nToday, Governor Gavin Newsom kicked off California Biodiversity Week with the release of the 2024 Annual Progress Report for the 30×30 Initiative \u2013 California\u2019s commitment to conserve 30% of state lands and coastal waters by the year 2030. <\/p>\n
The report shows that California is making significant progress toward this goal, with the state now having conserved 25.2% of its lands and 16.2% of its coastal waters.<\/p>\n
Since the 30×30 effort started in 2022, California has added almost 1.5 million acres of 30×30 Conservation Areas\u2014or roughly 2,350 square miles of conserved lands. And this year alone, 861,000 acres of conserved lands were added to 30×30 in California.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2020, I signed an executive order to conserve 30% of lands and 30% of coastal waters in California by 2030. And four years into this effort, we\u2019re on track to achieve this target, with over a quarter of our lands protected. We won\u2019t stop working to protect California\u2019s unparalleled natural beauty for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
