ENVIRONMENT & DEVELOPMENT

The increasing human pressure on natural resources has forced us to rethink the relationship we established with the environment. The importance of preserving the integrity of the services offered by the biosphere and all its ecosystems, has become evident only now that we have caused considerable damage. Along with raising our awareness about our dependency from these ecosystem services, we have to take responsibility for the sustainable management of natural resources.
