The Center for Collaborative Conservation (CCC) was established in CSU’s Warner College of Natural Resources in 2008 to inform, promote, and support collaboration on tough conservation issues across Colorado, the American West, and the world.
We invite you to read about the CCC’s first decade of impact in 10-Year Report: Transforming Conservation through Collaboration.
CCC’s first decade set a strong foundation for even greater impact for nature and people in the next decade. Our vision and mission express our aspirations, our values inform everything we do, and our theory of change breaks down how we make an impact.
Our Fellows Program provides funding, training, and a community of practice for a cohort of students, faculty, and practitioners to complete collaborative projects. We embody the transformative power of collaboration in conservation by bridging learning, practice, and collaborative capacity.
The aim of the Colorado Forest Collaboratives Network (CFCN) is to benefit and support place-based forest collaboratives in Colorado by connecting them to information, resources, and each other, and by telling their stories to make their value and needs understood.
The Western Collaborative Conservation Network (WCCN) links hundreds of people across 9+ states to build capacity for community-based collaborative conservation. Through our newsletters, working groups, and Confluence, WCCN participants share successes, learn from each other, mentor each other, and more.
