In this session, taking place during Latino Conservation Week, you will learn how the initiative to protect 30% of lands, waters, and ocean can be achieved with the engagement and leadership of communities of color - and accomplish far more than our biodiversity and climate goals. Centering communities and the values of Love, Faith, and Justice can move us toward a happier and healthier society that moves in concert with nature.

• Love: Case studies showing the power of protecting BIPOC heritage sites and sites important to communities of color.
• Faith: The impact of Hispanic Access Foundation's work with Por La Creacion Faith-Based Alliance, and the importance of protecting sacred indigenous sites.
• Justice: Exploring the Nature Gap, injustice in the outdoors, and how 30x30 can serve all people, if done intentionally.
