President Joseph Biden has taken an early, critical step to safeguard old-growth forests on federal land. The president issued an executive order calling for federal agencies to conduct an inventory of mature and old-growth forests on federal land as a precursor to enacting policies to protect the trees.
Earthjustice has advocated and litigated for the protection of such forests as part of a greater strategy of fighting climate change by stewardship of publicly owned land and waters. Responsible management of forests and oceans could effectively reach up to 37% of the emission reductions needed to avoid worst-case climate predictions by 2030.
