It provides a strong foundation for research purposes. Knowledge about conservation projects is crucial for people to participate in conservation and natural resources management. Information exchange on the other hand constitutes an important tool for net work development and hence the progress of any modern organization. Without adequate and appropriate information an organization cannot function effectively. It is now recognized as an important management and technical tool in both development and environmental programmes.
Every organization collects, generates and manages information.
It is an aspect of an organization, which is very important for technological transfer and capacity building. It is impossible for an organization as WWF to function properly without an adequate information system. Projects and programmes could loose grip of the incessant flow of useful information coming from various sources relevant to achieving their goals. Conversely, WWF activities need to be given both local and international exposure to broaden and strengthen the communication network. The overall goal of Resource Centre is to provide support to WWF-CPO conservation programme through the provision of management and technical information on related subjects in conservation and development.
