ARPA RESERVES

The Apui Mosaic (see map) covers a territory that is slightly less than the size of Belgium. It consists of nine inter-connected conservation areas that fulfill various management objectives and afford different levels of protection — two state parks emphasizing nature protection, four state forests focusing on sustainable forest management, and three extractive and sustainable use reserves.

We have not inherited the world from our forefathers--we have borrowed it from our children.

-Kashmiri, proverb
