[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3567239, member: 35036"] For a second source, theres this report published by the Congressional Research Service: Federal Land Ownership: Overview and Data Updated February 21, 2020 [URL]https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42346.pdf[/URL] Every Single one of those major landowning departments within the federal government is responsible for conservation and preservation of land. Also, every military base I have been on, with the exception of places like Tinker, are also used as conservation areas. I think that [B][U]at most[/U][/B] this 30x30 deal is asking for an additional 1-3% of land to be acquired by the .gov for conservation use, which is a lot less than taking 1/3 of every farm in America. Notice how any news articles about this don't mention how much land in the US is already used for conservation. Its mostly a symbolic gesture for publicity. We never heard about it on the news because it isn't dramatic enough to gain views or airtime. Within this report there's a few important foot notes: Notice[U][B] The estimate of 640 million acres generally excludes lands in marine refuges and national monuments and ownership of interests in lands (e.g., subsurface minerals, easements). It also does not reflect Indian lands, many of which are held in trust by the federal government but are not owned by the federal government. [/B][/U]With that statement I think its safe to say that the US gov already owns considerably more than the 30% he's calling for. They just have to change some designations and put up a few signs. I feel this EO is just lipservice. [/QUOTE]
