Welcome to Natural Heritage Division

Natural Heritage Division (NHD) advocates the sustainable use of natural resources, undertakes projects on eco-restoration, and conservation and creation of environmental assets. The solutions proposed are innovative including technical interventions to elements of social engineering. The focus has been on water issues, a vast and complex subject inextricably linked with issues of human survival and the environment. This has inevitably led the Division to engage in larger environmental issues of biodiversity and habitat, addressing several areas and issues inadequately addressed in the mainstream.
