Sarhad Provincial Conservation Strategy - IUCN

The Sarhad Provincial Conservation Strategy is an
attempt to adjust the National Conservation
Strategy’s countrywide priorities to provincial realities.
The Strategy is divided into three major sections:
■ Part I The Context
■ Part II The Strategy
■ Part III I m p l e m e n t a t i o n
The context or basis for the strategy is set out in
Part I. This briefly describes the history and issues facing
the people of the NWFP, and past and present
interventions in the search for sustainable development.
Part II outlines the Government's commitments or
suggestions for solutions to the priorities identified by
the people of the NWFP. Part III, perhaps the most dif-
I N T R O D U C T I O N 1
ficult, describes how implementation will be accomplished,
in both financial and institutional terms.
An Environmental Profile of North West Frontier
Province of Pakistan was prepared in parallel with
and as a part of the process of the SPCS. Most of
the information about the state of the environment in
the NWFP appears in the Environmental Profile.
Rather than repeat all that information here,
Chapters 2 and 6-14 present a summary of it, focusing
on priority issues and sectors and reinforcing
that with information from other sources, as necessary
and useful. When a source other than the
Environmental Profile is used in the report, it is provided
in the text.
