干旱区生态环境知识资源中心

The International Arid Lands Consortium (IALC) was established in 1990 to promote research, education, and training for the development, management, and restoration of arid and semi-arid lands throughout the world. One activity of IALC members and cooperators is to support research and development and demonstration projects that enhance management of these fragile ecosystems for sustainable human use. Topics of interest include more effective water and watershed management practices, projects, and programs leading to better land stewardship in the coming century.
