The Asia/Pacific Programme

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."
