WWFM has developed a 5 year strategy (2000-2004). A more elaborated strategy related to natural resource management is therefore forthcoming.
The principal is that future micro level plans will ideally be made together with main partners and in participation of other stakeholders and will focus on sustainable land-use and other natural resources practices. Continuing to search for win-win options and striving towards the development of guidelines for wise use and management of natural resources. Model projects will continue to serve as a learning base with the overall goal to illustrate long-term and sustainable alternatives.
Issues related to natural resource management are key to successful conservation work in the wetlands, forest and marine biome and species within it and will therefore continue to be a main theme in our conservation programme. Concurrent themes, include protection and restoration of biodiversity within the context of sustainable development.
