Balancing Conservation and Business With Larry Selzer from the Conservation Fund

This podcast episode with Larry Selzer from the Conservation Fund discusses balancing economic development with environmental conservation. Larry discusses the Fund's mission to protect critical lands in the U.S. while supporting sustainable economic activities. "It's not an easy endeavour, because there's a long history, over a century, of keeping these two powerful forces, the environmental movement and the free enterprise system separate in the United States. Our mission is to bring them together to create a mighty river of action," Selzer said. The fund aims to protect five million acres of forest and contribute to the national goal of conserving 30% of U.S. land by 2030. The conversation highlights the importance of integrating conservation with economic vitality and the unique challenges and strategies in achieving these ambitious goals.
