* Mainstream – around the world the term ‘mainstreaming the environment’ is gaining prominence. Translated it means the process by which societies, businesses and governments recognise the full functions, services, and benefits derived from ecosystems, and the natural environment, and then act to see these values given appropriate weight and consideration in decision making. Mainstreaming is therefore at the heart of achieving ecologically sustainable development.
