At the 26th Annual CLCV Environmental Leadership Awards Gala on May 9, CLCV honored three visionary conservationists: Steve McCormick, Michael Mantell, and Julie Packard. These environmental leaders have preserved spectacular natural treasures across California and around the world — from towering forests, magnificent mountains, shimmering deserts and shining seas, to the vast multiplicity of vital living things that call these special places home. Their vision and dedication has transformed our understanding of how conservation can be practiced, and how necessary it is to our lives as well as our quality of life. They have built diverse coalitions, advanced strong conservation policies, devised creative financing and project management strategies, and broadened the very concept of conservation — one that has strengthened the environmental movement by helping connect project-specific accomplishments to our global priorities.

Keynote Speaker: The Honorable Leon Panetta
Honorees:

Steve McCormick, Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation

Michael Mantell, Resources Law Group
Julie Packard, Monterey Bay Aquarium
