OUR OBJECTIVES ARE TO

1. Conserve natural resources on private and state land.
2. Provide protection for farm game and other natural resources from poaching.
3. Provide a more extended conservation management and thus create a wider diversity of natural habitats.
4. Promote eco-tourism.
5. Promote conservation action by convincing leaders and the public of the importance of natural areas to generate income from tourism.
6. Stimulate investments in effective management of natural areas and cultural heritage sites.
7. Create an awareness of and interest in nature and nature conservation.
