Conserving biodiversity for a sustainable living, as
a development political principle, means maintaining the grounds
of development for future generations through retaining options
for development, which otherwise be lost by the increasing
loss of species and ecosystem destruction.
Advisory services in nature conservation touch
on a number of decision-making levels – from creating
a global alliance and providing appropriate national frameworks
down to enabling communities to care for their own environments.
Local communities are the focus for much that needs to be
done in making a change to living sustainable, but there is
little they can do if they lack the power to act.
Consulting services are offered in the following fields:
• Establishment of national frameworks
for integrated conservation development

natural areas sustainably
