Prince Albert II of Monaco Receives ICCF Teddy Roosevelt® International Conservation Award

On October 20th 2009, Prince Albert II of Monaco received the ICCF Teddy Roosevelt® International Conservation Award in a formal ceremony on Capitol Hill in recognition of his innovative leadership in conservation polices. The Award recognized his great personal commitment to good natural resource management, particularly in biodiversity and water conservation, and his leadership in focusing other world leaders on these important causes. The Award was presented to the Prince by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Honorable Nancy Pelosi. The ceremony was attended by a cross-section of leaders from the corporate, government and non-profit communities and included numerous diplomats, Members of Congress and celebrities.

 
September 29th, 2009-- The International Conservation Caucus Foundation (ICCF) hosted a Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP) U.S. Leadership Summit and CBFP Partner Forum in Washington, DC.

The Summit and Partner Forum recognized the United States Congress and State Department leadership in launching the CBFP in 2002, celebrated and honored the CBFP host and partner nations, and laid future plans for the next phase of the CBFP. The event included a Congressional Hearing and Congressional Reception, as well as a CBFP Partner Forum comprising two roundtables: a CBFP Biodiversity & Habitat Conservation Roundtable and a CBFP “Climate Talks” Roundtable.

The gathering presented the leadership of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate International Conservation Caucuses (ICC) the opportunity to review the status of the U.S. role in the CBFP and reflect upon the American commitment for the years ahead. Designed to further facilitate the gathering of CBFP partner leaders in a Forum to continue dialogue among themselves concerning the status of the CBFP and to discuss upcoming “climate talks” to take place in Copenhagen later this year.

ICCF Partners in Conservation BrochureThe ICCF Partners in Conservation portfolio is a compendium of projects put forth by our Conservation Council members as examples of the best international conservation work conducted in partnership. Most reflect the strength of unions forged between public and private sectors – U.S. and foreign governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations.

The ICCF Partners in Conservation portfolio is being distributed widely as an educational tool for International Conservation Caucus (ICC) Members and other Members of Congress, Administration personnel, foreign government officials, and a variety of leaders who have the ability to contribute to our base of support for international conservation policy initiatives.
