PARTNERSHIPS
cooperation is a vital element of any successful conservation
programme. WWF works closely with a variety of organizations -
governmental and non-governmental - throughout the Asia/Pacific
Region. In India it supports non-governmental organizations who
are monitoring pollution problems and campaigning for improved
pollution control mechanisms. In China it works to bring Chinese
and foreign air pollution and energy experts to-gether to draw
up energy policies. In Thailand it cooperates with Buddhist monks
- highly influential communicators of the importance of nature
conservation. And in Australia it coordinates the National Threatened
Species Network, which aims to actively involve the public in
schemes to conserve the country's threatened plants and animals.
" Nature conservation for nature's sake alone isn't a viable
concept."
