Entries are also expected to reflect biodiversity management and conservation activities by natural protection organizations and individuals and illustrate the interaction between man and nature, the harmony with nature and the community participation in biodiversity conservation. The entries will be used by MONRE as communication materials on biodiversity, nature protection and environment for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE).
