The Indus Ecoregion Programme is an ambitious long-term (2005-2055) initiative of the World Wide Fund for Nature – Pakistan (WWF-P) and the Government of Sindh that will address poverty and natural resource degradation in the Indus Ecoregion. The failure of previous disconnected short-term poverty reduction and natural resource management projects has raised the need for a long-term vision and framework that integrates the existing efforts of all stakeholders and results in comprehensive solutions leading to sustainable management of the Indus Ecoregion. Development of the Indus Ecoregion Programme was funded by the
Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN), WWF’s Living Waters Programme (LWP) and WWF –International Asia-Pacific Programme. The global WWF Network is heavily involved in supporting Programmes globally and through out the Asia –Pacific Region.
WWF-Pakistan has been engaged in development of the Indus Ecoregion Conservation Programme through a continuous national and international consultative process. |
