HI HCR132

Urges the federal government to develop a national biodiversity strategy to address the biodiversity crisis threatening approximately one million species with extinction.

Highlights Hawaii's disproportionate burden, housing over 550 endangered species (approximately 25 percent of the nation's total) while receiving only about 3 percent of available federal conservation funding.

Strategy should include conserving at least 30 percent of United States lands and waters by 2030, protecting threatened and endangered species, and addressing local stressors including invasive species and unsustainable harvesting.

Requires the strategy be developed with significant public input and collaboration from federal and state agencies, indigenous communities, communities of color, low-income communities, private landowners, and non-governmental stakeholders.

Directs transmission of certified copies to the President, Speaker of the House, Senate Leadership, and Hawaii's Congressional delegation.
