Everyone can play a part in natural resource management because we all have an interest in protecting our natural systems, using precious resources wisely and in ensuring livelihoods.

Each of the Region’s strategies list priorities for investment – the things we need to do that will make the biggest difference to the management of our natural resources. Investment proposals outlining the opportunities for involvement in addressing regional priorities are developed on a yearly basis. Contact your regional NRM for more information about these.

There are great benefits in investing in NRM projects and activities. It’s a tangible way of connecting to the community you operate in, it shows you share the same aspirations and values as NRM - something people notice these days, and even your staff can get involved in projects as part of their professional development.

There are many ways to invest in NRM in your Region – cash support, in-kind support, advocating for priorities and projects, encouraging others to get involved.
