Presidential Memorandum
“We must adapt our strategies to meet the new challenges of our time. Over the last century, our population grew from 9 million to 300 million people, and as it did, we lost more and more of our natural landscape to development. Meanwhile, a host of other factors—from a changing climate to new sources of pollution—have put a growing strain on our wildlife and our waters and our lands.”
-President Barack Obama, April 16, 2010
