The Next Twenty

2020 marked our twentieth anniversary! And, in what we have all come to recognize as typical 2020, it also marked the year our founder retired which brought a new Executive Director to the helm plus major changes to our Board. These changes have brought with them some questions about where we are going and how we’re going to get there.

An August 2019 report by the Center for American Progress stated that we need to protect 30% of land and oceans in the US by 2030 to stem the worst impacts of climate change and wildlife extinction. While about 26% of the oceans have been protected to date, we have only saved 12% of the land. AND — the south is losing land at a faster rate than the rest of the country. We have a LOT to do.
