| The mission of the CCC is to contribute
to the conservation of biological diversity by fostering
communication, collaboration, and institutional change
within member organizations and among their partners
concerning the linkages of conservation, population
dynamics, health, education, and the economy.
The coalition promotes a holistic approach that recognizes
that conservation is a social issue and that engaging
communities in the work of conservation is critical.
At local, regional and international scales, the community
conservation approach promotes local empowerment through
information exchange, technical assistance and training,
applied research and promotion of policy reform.
Member organizations include: Conservation International
(CI), Environmental Health Project (EHP), International
Resources Group Ltd. (IRG), Jane Goodall Institute (JGI),
John Snow, Inc. (JSI), Population Action International
