Experience with sustainable environmental management is limited. There are few trained professionals. Many hillside farmers and foresters are not familiar with soil and water conservation methods.
Environmental groups are few and relatively weak, though their number and strength are growing.
Improved management includes definition of areal limits, legalization, demarcation of boundaries, assignment of institutional responsibilities, preparation of management plans, and infrastructure development. Sustained implementation involves mobilizing public and private resources and economic incentives for wise resource use.
