Given the new infrastructure development required to transition to a low-carbon, green energy future, it can seem as though these two initiatives contradict one another. However, there is one thing that new energy infrastructure and biodiversity both need to thrive: land.
Larry Selzer, CEO and president of The Conservation Fund recently discussed why land conservation is such a critical catalyst for reaching our nation’s goals of climate mitigation and the swift transition to a low-carbon energy system in The Hill.
At The Conservation Fund, we make conservation work for America. By creating solutions that make environmental and economic sense, we are redefining conservation to demonstrate its essential role in our future prosperity. Top-ranked for efficiency and effectiveness, we have worked in all 50 states since 1985 to protect more than 8.8 million acres of land.
