Hopeful that today’s hard fought Senate action is a first step in taking the climate crisis seriously and investing in clean energy and conservation to deliver a healthier future for all of us.

Big news! A proposal to sell off public lands in the U.S. has been defeated! Over the past month, the TNC community stepped up to stop this proposal, sending more than 100,000 messages to Congress to urge leaders to keep public lands in public hands.

National parks, forests and other publicly-owned conservation lands keep Americans healthy, our air and water clean and our economy strong. Thank you @RepGabeVasquez, @RepRyanZinke, @RepDebDingell & @CongMikeSimpson for your leadership to ensure public lands stay in public hands.

Terrific panel this morning at the 30th annual Stegner Symposium on wildfire and its air pollution impacts—a growing problem, particularly in the West.

We remain committed, as we have for decades, to advocating for and defending policies and funding that protect people and nature. Read our statement on recent discussions about U.S. government funding that conserves nature and takes action on climate.

🌳 @nature_org was just awarded $102.5 million from the @USDA to ramp up conservation projects in 6 states! This funding will protect grasslands and western landscapes, keep streams free flowing for fish and improve forest management. https://t.co/AInN5U7Nnc

Today marks 60 years since the Land and Water Conservation Fund — one of America’s most important conservation tools — became law. #LWCF has protected natural spaces, strengthened national parks, restored wildlife habitats and created outdoor spaces that everyone can enjoy.

The Supreme Court decision to overturn the #ChevronDoctrine could present challenges for implementing and enforcing laws that support nature. We will continue to work at all levels of government to protect people and our planet. See more: https://t.co/P4EF7mA2bG

Another great example of how funding from the federal Inflation Reduction Act is being used to conserve important natural resources across America, as well as how it is doing so in partnership with tribal leaders.

This is an important step to modernize and speed up the permitting and review process. This rule from the @WhiteHouse will spur clean energy, strengthen environmental protections AND deliver better outcomes for communities. We're excited to dig in further! https://t.co/72fa28Cyxv

We're making history by confronting the climate crisis, not denying it. On my watch, we'll cut our carbon emissions in half – and conserve 30% of America's lands and waters – by 2030.

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe - and these trends are expected to get worse. One thing is clear: We need to return beneficial fire to our landscapes and secure long-term investments in wildfire resilience. 👇@bfrist's new @Forbes column. https://t.co/bEKHYX4fmw

There are 500,000+ abandoned mines in the U.S., and many are leaking acid mine drainage into our rivers and streams. So, we've joined @TroutUnlimited and other conservation groups to urge Congress to pass legislation that would help ease mine cleanups👇 https://t.co/nKKdYRCj07
