1. Building a Conservation
Movement
The CCO has produced several reports and strategy papers related to
building a stronger conservation movement. The more recent ones relate to
the We Conserve initiative, which is taking these recommendations and
putting them into practice.

Missing Values
In the late
1990's, the CCO initiated a series of reports that
analyzed and compared the commitments of Ministry Business
Plans with their Statements of Environmental Values.
The reports highlighted weaknesses in the government's
ability to integrate environmental values into its annual
planning and priorities.
