Conservation — work to eliminate or decrease the use of natural resources and the negative impacts on ecosystems and communities
Preservation — work to protect ecosystems, species, indigenous cultures, and other irreplaceable elements of the world’s natural heritage
Restoration — work to re-establish the healthy functioning of ecosystems, parts of ecosystems, and human communities that manage ecosystems.
