Mission
It is our belief that as America has exported
freedom, democracy, and free enterprise, we have the ability and the
interest to see that America also exports good natural resource
management. The International Conservation Caucus Foundation (ICCF)
firmly believes that conservation is compatible with development and
that stewardship of natural resources is fundamental to poverty
alleviation, conflict avoidance, good governance, and regional security.
We are convinced that it is in America’s national interest to expand its
leadership in the world to promote sound, long-term policies of
sustainable land, water, and biodiversity management.
Goal
Catalyze the consensus on international
conservation policy across party lines and between the public and
private sectors that is necessary to increase the scale and
effectiveness of U.S. government support for good natural resource
management worldwide.
Objectives
1.
Unite policymakers in the
U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, the Administration and at
the state and local level, with foreign leaders, the international
business community, and civil society worldwide through informed debate
on proactive policies, integrating natural resource stewardship into all
U.S. foreign policy and foreign assistance programs.
2.
Educate policymakers using
good science and models of public-private partnerships that invest in
protecting biodiversity and natural resources, and provide a dependable
flow of balanced information. Organize working field missions to
experience conservation challenges and opportunities to provide economic
and social benefits to people, thereby promoting regional security.
3.
Motivate international
policymakers to generate strategies that launch, implement, fund and
monitor international conservation measures and mitigate conservation
crises, through ICCF educational programs and a demonstration of
consensus in the private sector.
4.
Recognize the achievements of
policymakers and private sector leaders and thereby inspire others to
learn and act.
