The National Programme for Environmental Sciences aims at identifying, evaluating and working towards solutions for environmental problems through cooperative studies drawing together interested scientists from various sectors. Apart from solid wastes, the National Programme also includes research relating to ecosystems, their structure, functioning and exploitation and disturbance by man. It includes research relating to environmental problems in inland waters, terrestrial ecosystems, the sea and lower atmosphere. It includes research designed to meet local needs as well as projects being undertaken in South Africa as contributions to the international programme of SCOPE (Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment), the body set up in 1970 by ICSU (International Council for Scientific Unions) to act as a focus of non-governmental international scientific effort in the environmental field.
