    • Research shows that 4 out of 5 voters support the plan to protect at least 30% of America's land, ocean areas, and inland waters by 2030.
    • Reasons for supporting the initiative include concerns about species extinction and habitat loss, the need to address climate change impacts, and the importance of protecting ecosystems and providing equitable access to natural spaces.
    • Governor Pete Ricketts from Nebraska opposes the initiative due to the challenge of conserving 30% of privately owned land in the state and the perceived lack of a detailed plan.

    • The initiative has sought input from a diverse range of community members and interest holders across the US.
