International Conservation Caucus Foundation

The International Conservation Caucus Foundation is a conservation organisation which describes its mission statement as follows on its website:
: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."Overview: Mission", International Conservation Caucus Foundation website, accessed 1 June 2009

In 2007 the ICCF gave the ICCF Teddy Roosevelt International Conservation Award to Tony Blair, former UK prime minister. The ICCF explains its decision as follows:
:As Prime Minister, Tony Blair addressed some of the world’s pressing conservation issues: overfishing and the need for marine protection, illegal forestry, and agricultural policy, among others. In 2001, Prime Minister Blair announced sectoral initiatives contributing to Great Britain’s global leadership in conservation. The initiatives covered financial services, water, tourism, energy and forestry. Mr. Blair worked tirelessly to ensure mainstream UK financial services companies applied capital and services to support sustainable development."Awards", Dinner program, second annual U.S. Congressional International Conservation Gala, 2007
