b) Development – foster economic and human development which is socio-culturally ecologically sustainable; key projects and programs fostering sustainable economic and human development;
c) Logistic support – support for demonstration projects, environmental education and training, research and monitoring related to local, regional, national and global issues of conservation & sustainable development.
