The Make America Beautiful Again (MABA) commission launched its strategic initiative MABA 250 — a results-driven agenda to conserve America’s natural beauty and expand outdoor recreation opportunities. Chaired by U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, this initiative builds on 250 years of environmental progress and will serve as a governing framework for conservation policies over the next 250 years.
The MABA commission is tasked with balancing stewardship and economic growth, encouraging responsible conservation, restoring America’s wildlife, lands and waters, and protecting our Nation’s outdoor heritage for the enjoyment of the American people. A report of its accomplishments will formally be rolled out in conjunction with the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library commemorating America 250.
Building on the launch of MABA 250, the Commission convened at the White House to highlight significant accomplishments that have taken place across federal agencies since being established by President Donald J. Trump on July 3, 2025.
Administration leadership showcased clear results being advanced under MABA 250’s priorities, demonstrating Trump’s commitment to responsible environmental stewardship to conserve American treasures for future generations.
Key Priority Areas to Make America Beautiful Again:
Balance Stewardship and Economic Growth: Environmental protection and responsible development of natural resources are not mutually exclusive; America’s Golden Age is about Energy Dominance and conservation abundance.
Increase Access for Hunting, Fishing, and Other Forms of Recreation: Expanding and improving public access to outdoor recreation on public lands and waters and modernizing National Park and public lands access through common sense polices and technological innovation.
Expand Voluntary Conservation: Strengthening and streamlining voluntary conservation efforts that sustain America’s lands, waters, and wildlife for the 21st century.
Cut Red Tape Driven by Climate Extremists and Bureaucracy in the Outdoors: Cutting ridiculous bureaucratic delays that hinder conservation and restoration work.
Recover Species and Supporting Habitat: Leveraging partnerships and voluntary actions to foster thriving wildlife populations and the resilient ecosystems that support these populations.
