"California’s ambitious climate, conservation, and equity goals include powering the state with 100 percent renewable energy by 2045, protecting 30 percent of lands and coastal waters by 2030 (“30x30”), and prioritizing Tribal leadership and co-management. RLF believes that all three of these objectives are achievable with smart planning and collaboration."

Rivian Foundation's grant
Rivian Foundation’s support is helping the RLF PLSE program to scale its proven approach for balancing renewable energy buildout with conservation and cultural priorities in some of California’s most high-stakes landscapes. The grant will enable RLF to expand place-based collaborations and provide technical support to Tribal partners. The work aims to build common ground for positive engagement amongst Tribes, developers, and conservationists, applying lessons from successes that reduce conflict and accelerate California's progress toward climate, biodiversity, and community goals.
