Utah 30x30 survey

Scientists tell us that we need to protect 30% of the earth’s lands and oceans by 2030 to stem the loss of nature, prevent mass extinction of species and mitigate the impacts of climate change. In other words, it is necessary for the survival and well-being of life on earth, including our communities in Utah. In a nutshell, the "30x30" campaign is about taking care of the lands and waters that keep our planet healthy. Protection can take many different forms, but is aimed at maintaining land and water systems in a naturally functioning condition.Focused on publicly owned land, no private land will be involved unless the owner wants to participate.

Science shows that land kept in a natural state helps preserve biodiversity and will help us mitigate the effects of climate change. The 30x30 campaign gives us an important opportunity to protect nature in Utah. Why is nature important to you (choose all that apply)?:

Places I go with my family

I like to recreate in them (hike, bike, bird watch, boat, hunt, fish, camp, etc)

I find solace and renewal in nature

Important to me spiritually

They are of cultural and/or historical significance to me and my family

They provide habitat for wildlife

I’m worried about the loss of biodiversity and risk of extinction of animal species

They help to mitigate climate change

I hunt or fish

Protecting Nature helps ensure clean water and air, carbon sequestration and habitat for wildlife.

What is your vision for the future of nature in Utah? I would like to see:

More natural areas

Less natural areas

About the same

What is your sense of urgency about the need to institute policies that address climate change and protect biodiversity?

The situation is extremely urgent

The situation is somewhat urgent

There is no problem, no need for solutions

Considering that roughly 10% of lands worldwide, and 12% of lands in Utah, have some level of protection, do you think the goal of protecting 30% by 2030 in order to maintain properly functioning ecosystems is:

Not enough

Just about right

Too much
