Goal 3:
To achieve a standard of living among the top ten states in America

Objective 3.7 - To preserve and develop Louisiana’s natural and cultural assets
  Louisiana is blessed with vast natural resources and a unique culture that make it a special place to live. While creating a Louisiana for the 21st century, we must also preserve and develop the Louisiana’s heritage and natural assets. Those tangibles and intangibles are important for quality of life as well as for their economic value to the state. Louisiana must further protect our natural treasures and market our assets to those who haven’t experienced their uniqueness and beauty.
Benchmarks to track progress toward Objective 3.7 include:
 
  Amount of State-owned lands for natural resource management by the Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and the Department of Parks & Recreation
  Total Louisiana species listed as threatened or endangered/rare plants
