Join us for a presentation and discussion highlighting 30x30, and global effort to protect thirty percent of the world's land and water by 2030 in order to combat climate change. Organizers from Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) and Utah Diné Bikeyah will help us break down key components of this ambitious goal and share how you can get involved in the movement. We will use America's Red Rock Wilderness Act to highlight how this bill contributes in a critical way to achieve 30x30 and can inspire action locally across the world.
