To maintain the ecological health of Sulawesi Ecosystems
Protection against alien species (pests, diseases, invasive species)
- Sustainable agricultural- Sustainable land use- Healthy Biodiversity
Protect the natural ecosystems- Rivers, coasts, mangroves, coral reefs, etc.- Social interactions
Law enforcement and regional networking-Economic development within the sustainability coridors.- Biosecurity continuum principles
