Project results: Delivery of wildlife enforcement and inspection training to Mexican institutions Development of training resources on ozone depleting substances (ODS) and Hazardous Waste for environmental and customs inspectors Strengthening judicial capabilities through exchange of best practices A trilateral approach to non-compliant imports entering North America Engaging other law enforcement agencies and a global recognition of the EWG model for cooperation Commission for environmental cooperation

Benefit to the North American environment Our countries are developing a common approach to the protection of our shared environment and natural resources There is more work to be done: The dynamics of globalization and the current economic situation will continue to pose a challenge for our agencies. Further collaboration is needed to: Fully engage customs and other enforcement agencies in environmental protection; Identify areas where harmonized norms and standards are possible (e.g., small engines) at a North American level.
