FOUNDER, FORCES
Restoration aims to return a system, such as an ecosystem or building, to its original condition, while rehabilitation aims to make a damaged or degraded system functional again without necessarily restoring it to its exact prior state.
Research in education is the systematic investigation to solve problems, improve practices, and advance knowledge about teaching, learning, and the educational system as a whole.
Awareness and capacity building are complementary processes designed to create understanding of issues and strengthen the skills, knowledge, resources, and communities to address those issues effectively.
Conservation management refers to the strategic process of protecting and caring for natural resources, habitats, and biodiversity to ensure their sustainability for future generations.
