Its educational, consultancy and advising roles in the region promote efforts to protect and conserve the environment, promote economic growth and cultural awareness. Through its international Advisory Board, the Institute establishes excellent targets in order to make a difference in the region. Established out of the recognition of the plight of the environment, the decline in biodiversity, water pollution and shortage, the threat to major biomes like forest, energy issues, poverty problems, urbanization issues, natural hazards, the Institute focuses on education, informing and enlightening the public on matters pivoted on improving communities preserving and conserving the heritage of the region. All its initiatives are geared toward empowering the inhabitants of the region through capacity building. The Institute's work is both applied and theoretical as any other think-tank in the world.
