California governor calls for protecting 30% of state land
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Wednesday to protect nearly a third of California’s land and coastal waters in his latest effort to fight climate change that he has blamed for recent record-breaking wildfires. The order directs the California Natural Resources Agency to develop plans to protect the state's land and waterways, as well as the agriculture industry. The order also directs state agencies to maximize the climate benefits of our natural and working land by maintaining healthy soil, restoring wetlands, managing forests to reduce fire risks and creating more parks and green areas.
