Managing development to VcVH0VC7 achieve (RDE) Framework  its goal rests on how extension work makes full use of the results derived document, one thing stands out: the partnership that the DENR Research Sector, through the leadership of Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB), of science out of necessity to ensure that resources for research are properly sought to establish with the various stakeholders to engage them in coming up with this framework. On this note, I would like to commend ERDB and the Ecosystems Research and Development Service (ERDS) for making partnership an approach to planning and development, and extension (RDE) work and the adverse impacts of a degraded natural resources (ENR) sector. natural resources (ENR).

The magnitude of environmental problems has generally become globalized. Concerns on climate change, In this case, the acutely faces a graver challenge to install stable measures to establish ENR sustainability ready to undertake shared responsibility in securing and strengthening ENR sustainability. Having this framework as the Research Sector’s roadmap in the next six years, I look forward to the successful endeavours of ERDB and ERDS and all its partners in RDE on environment and natural resources.
