National Implementation

Natural Justice supports state level bodies and national governments to develop laws and policies relating to their obligations under international law, particularly the Convention on Biological Diversity, and to develop projects and programmes to aid their implementation. We are currently engaging in such work with the South African national government and the Sabahan (Malaysian) state government.
