In his opening address to the meeting of the Governing Board of Trustees of the KMTNC, Crown Prince Paras said, “As the globalisation process unfolds, the balance between human consumption and natural regeneration is likely to be further disrupted. The path that we have chosen aims to restore this balance through the recognition of the interdependent relationships within ecological systems, sustainable living, community involvement and collaboration as integral ingredients of natural resources management, and the larger role of biological resources in addressing the global common good.”

According press release issued by KMTNC, the meeting reviewed the programme progress from 1st and 2nd quarters (July 16- December 31, 2005).

Field Marshal Sir John Chapple from the United Kingdom and Dr Noritada Morita, Chairman of Asia Strategy Forum from Japan attended the meeting along with other national trustees of KMTNC.
