To encourage NFAs to urge their respective governments to:
- Educate the public about the biological (preserving biological diversity), ecological, educational, recreational and spiritual importance of wilderness areas and the need to protect endangered ecosystems;
- establish a system of parks and/or reserves of diverse and representative wilderness areas, free from industrial and resource development, in accordance with the recommendation of the World Commission on Environment and Development (the Bruntland Report); and
- set a timetable within the next ten years for the implementation of this system before further destruction of natural habitats and the animal life dependent on them occurs;
- make available adequate resources to implement this system in the allotted time.
