B&D Principal Jamie Auslander (Washington, DC) was quoted in “Biden's Conservation Goals Leave Much To The Imagination” in Law360. The article concerns the Biden administration’s recently announced "America the Beautiful" initiative, also referred to as the 30x30 initiative, which is intended to support conservation of 30% of all lands and waters throughout the United States by 2030. The article quotes an interview with Jamie regarding the scope and possible results of the initiative.

Jamie commented that the government’s recent report leaves much up to interpretation and implementation, saying, "Right now, it's just a feel-good conservation goal that everybody can strive towards with no penalty for not hitting it."
