Nature as the place where all human primary resources are contained. Preserve the dynamic balance of natural systems, means to ensure the existence of future generations whose task is to plan their activities in the use of these resources. Monitoring the influences of our behaviour on the complex natural ecosystem would be a major contribution towards successfully planning processes.

In-TIME is also involved in research activities concerning nature protection and in particular:

• Competing uses of land
• Desertification
• Coastal Protection
• Management of natural areas.
