-
Wildlife Habitat Management: Assessing and enhancing forest habitats to promote biodiversity, which involves monitoring wildlife populations and implementing conservation practices.
-
Reforestation and Afforestation: Leading efforts in planting trees and restoring damaged ecosystems, as well as conducting research on tree species and forestry practices that support growth and sustainability.
-
Forest Health Monitoring: Conducting surveys and assessments to identify pests, diseases, and harmful invasive species, and developing strategies to mitigate these threats to maintain forest health.
