NEST Chairman Welcomes
you
Welcome to NEST
interactive website. Our aim is to reach all that have an interest in
environment and sustainable development issues, and in particular those
anxious to learn the perspectives on these issues projected by an
organization like ours in the developing world. Information in the site
will be updated periodically, but will always contain sufficient matter
about NEST for context.
The current edition is intended to draw attention to the potentials of
NEST. Please feel free to send in observations and criticisms for
improving the site. Happy viewing. - David Okali |
