Research and Monitoring Unit
The Research and Monitoring Unit serves as the Division’s main public relations arm. The Unit liaises with other Sections of the Division and regional and international affiliate organizations in order to disseminate vital information to different segments of the general public on matters relevant to environmental sustainability. The main objective of the unit is to bring about increased awareness that is complimented by national behavioral change.
The Environmental Education arm of the unit in the recent past produced several pieces of literature and other paraphernalia that have been circulated widely particularly to schools and used as tourist information.
