That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
given the evidence as of October 2019, the Federal Government should establish a national goal of conserving at least 30 percent of the land and 30 percent of the ocean within the territory of the United States by 2030;
the goal described in paragraph (1) should be accomplished through an effort that includes the objectives of—
working with local communities, Indian Tribes, States, and private landowners to conserve natural places and resources;
improving access to nature for all people in the United States, including for communities of color and economically disadvantaged communities;
sequestering carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in the land and ocean of the United States;
increasing public incentives for private landowners to voluntarily conserve and protect areas of demonstrated conservation value and with a high capacity to sequester carbon and greenhouse gas emissions;
focusing work at a large-landscape scale that is biologically and ecologically meaningful;
preventing extinction by recovering and restoring animal and plant species;
stabilizing ecosystems and the services of ecosystems, restoring degraded ecosystems, and maintaining ecological functions; and
increasing economic opportunities for farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and foresters; and
the goal described in paragraph (1) and the objectives described in paragraph (2) should be accomplished through an effort that—
makes science the foundation of conservation decisions by providing communities access to sound, up-to-date scientific information about—
the land and waters around those communities; and
how the land and waters around those communities are changing in a warming world;
respects Tribal sovereignty and the right to Tribal self-determination so that American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities can fulfill what each views as priorities for the stewardship of the natural, cultural, and historic resources of the community;
protects private property rights and traditional land uses and enables land owners to pass down the working land of those land owners to the next generation because private land accounts for approximately 60 percent of the land area in the contiguous 48 States;
addresses environmental justice and the necessity of a more equitable distribution of the benefits of nature to all people, including communities of color and economically disadvantaged communities;
takes into account a wide range of flexible and enduring conservation solutions;
involves the design and implementation of objectives and strategies locally and regionally; and
provides tools and resources to ensure that the areas described in subparagraphs (A) through (C) are effectively managed for conservation values and to sequester carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.
