Across the West, voters not only cast their ballots for federal races, in many states they voted on ballot measures impacting public lands, wildlife, and energy. In Nevada, voters approved a constitutional amendment to reach 50% renewable electricity by 2030. This marks the second time Nevada voters have approved the measure—in Nevada, constitutional amendments must be passed in two separate elections.
In Colorado, voters appear to have narrowly approved a ballot proposition to reintroduce wolves in the state. Should the vote be confirmed, Colorado would become the first state in which voters, not the government, directed the reintroduction of wolves.
Utahns overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment establishing a constitutional right to hunting and fishing and declaring hunting as the primary method to manage and control wildlife within the state.
Road to 30 Storymap: Access for sportsmen & women
As America loses a football field's worth of nature every 30 seconds, scientists are urging us to protect 30% of America by 2030—a bold vision that could save nature and strengthen local economies. A new CWP storymap explores how conserving more land and water directly benefits hunters and anglers, barriers and challenges faced by sportsmen and women that impact their ability to hunt and fish on public and private lands, and how the 30x30 goal can improve recreation access and protect fish and wildlife. This is the ninth installation of our ongoing “Road to 30” series exploring different strategies to reach the 30x30 goal.
