Conservationists have released a plan to protect key lands and waters in Colorado that people and nature need to survive and thrive in a changing climate. “Conserving Colorado: A 10-year Roadmap for the Future of Private Land Conservation” calls for doubling the number of acres protected over the next 10 years, from 3.3 million to 6.6 million acres. Comments from Linda Lidov, interim executive director, Keep It Colorado.
Keep It Colorado has received $1.52 million to provide transaction, planning, capacity and community engagement support to Colorado’s land conservation community. The funds are organized under two programs: the Transaction Cost Assistance Program and Organizational Advancement. They will enable coalition members to take steps in implementing Conserving Colorado: A 10-year Roadmap for the Future of Private Land Conservation.
