Thank you to The Durango Herald for publishing the May 14 editorial “Our View: 30x30 Plan,” which is spot on by saying, “the truth is in the details.” President Biden’s America the Beautiful 10-year plan is indeed well-supported throughout our state, well-balanced and is critical to keeping the Colorado way of life intact now and for future generations.
When I started to hear the criticism from outside fringe groups, I dug into the plan, read through the details, and quickly discovered how unfounded the outside fringe group’s arguments were.
As a Colorado native, I’ve treasured its beautiful rivers and streams, amazing wildlife and impressive landscapes. Through the years, we’ve all witnessed how human development has impacted natural landscapes. We must act now and we must act together to safeguard and restore ecosystems and slow the extinction crisis. The America the Beautiful plan, or the “30x30 goal,” lays out a great blueprint for achieving these important goals.
