Stewardship is a research area that focuses on the responsible and sustainable management of natural resources, ecosystems, and biodiversity. It involves promoting practices that ensure the long-term health and viability of these resources, while also considering the needs of current and future generations. Stewardship often involves collaboration between various stakeholders, including government agencies, local communities, and industries, to develop conservation and management strategies that balance environmental, social, and economic considerations. This research area aims to address pressing environmental challenges such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and over-exploitation of natural resources in order to achieve a more sustainable future.
