Commission for Environmental Cooperation

Issues such as Global climate change, habitat loss and species extinction are challenges that affect all of us. The Wildlife Habitat Council and its members worldwide recognize that all of us must come together to find sustainable solutions to ensure the protection of our natural areas.

The Wildlife Habitat Council is proud to be an active participant in the search for best practices in these critical times. WHC is one of four members of the U.S. National Advisory Committee to the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC).

The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) is an international organization created by Canada, Mexico and the United States under the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC). The CEC was established to address regional environmental concerns, help prevent potential trade and environmental conflicts, and to promote the effective enforcement of environmental law. The Agreement complements the environmental provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Visit WHC’s new CEC web page to learn more about important issues being discussed and to take advantage of valuable resources.
