Welcome to Ontario's
big green, sustainable, resilient, conservation movement.
Nobody owns our movement. Heck, we can't even agree on the
name. Is it the green movement, environmental movement,
sustainable development movement, Everyone has a part to play.
Ecologist Paul Hawken said it best: "This is the biggest social
movement in all of history, and it doesn't have a name". There
is a tremendous convergence happening
"We Conserve" is a catalyst for a movement that is already happening
and will continue to grow. It is not something we have
created, rather it is something we have helped identify and support.
The trick to building a stronger movement is to identify who has already assumed the responsibility
for key roles in a movement, and then concentrate on filling in the
gaps.
Our approach is to start by identifying the lead organizations and
existing networks that can address the
top ten conservation priorities -- both through policy and
though support for voluntary action.
