ICDPs believe that the nobility that comes with the conservation of biodiversity goes hand in hand with the economic benefits ensuing from a sustainable ecology

Herein it merits noting that the traditional fences and fines ' approach remains largely unsustainable , if not wholly ineffective , precisely because it cannot substantially curtail illegal activities being committed against lands and wildlife creatures which have already been pronounced as endangered .
