This Joint Memorial urges the federal government to create a National Biodiversity Strategy, a comprehensive plan to protect the variety of life and natural environments within the United States. This strategy, developed with input from Congress, federal agencies, and state, local, and tribal governments, aims to conserve and restore biodiversity, set goals for protection, promote fairness and justice in conservation efforts, and coordinate actions across different levels of government and with various stakeholders, including private landowners and international partners. The memorial specifically calls for supporting the goal of protecting at least thirty percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030 and taking action to safeguard species that are threatened or endangered, acknowledging the significant biodiversity crisis driven by human activities and its disproportionate impact on certain communities.
