PROGRAM 1: Natural Resource Sustainability

Goal: Natural Resources are utilised in a way that can be maintained indefinitely.

Strategic Priorities

Support Projects that:

    • Define resources and create objective measures of the health of resources that can then be used as a benchmark against which changes in the health of the resources can be measured.
    • Define threats to resources and create objective measures of the magnitude of each threat.
    • Develop ways to manage the threats to resources.
    • Predict how changing a threat affects the health of the resource.
    • Enhance governance arrangements for more innovative, responsive and effective management of the resources.
