President Obama launched
the America’s Great Outdoors (AGO) Initiative to develop a 21st
Century conservation and recreation agenda. AGO takes as its premise that
lasting conservation solutions should rise from the American people – that the
protection of our natural heritage is a non-partisan objective shared by all
Americans. AGO recognizes that many of the best ideas come from outside of
Washington. Instead of dictating policies, this initiative turns to communities
for local, grassroots conservation initiatives. Instead of growing bureaucracy,
it calls for reworking inefficient policies and making the Federal Government a
better partner with states, tribes, and local communities.
