Report of the Task Force on Ecoregional Approaches to Research

The analysis and understanding of the role of the different users of natural resources can provide a clear specification of resource degradation problems, their causes and the paths to their solution. However, wide application of the ecoregional approach, will depend on significant investment in manpower training, particularly on systems methodologies in NARS and other research institutions. The CGIAR invests very limited public funds, its roles must be in catalysis, demonstration, promotion and training.
