"The concept of highly experienced professionals with, collectively, thousands of years of real experience in dealing with the full range of long and short term issues facing protected area managers around the world and sharing this practical know-how on site with their counterparts, goes far beyond the abilities of other organizations to date that have attempted to ameliorate the recognized deficit and discrepancy in effective protected area conservation, and at a fraction of the cost. This is a critical organizational asset that the world-wide preservation community and funding agencies cannot and must not ignore."
