Symposium theme: “Unity in Biodiversity: Challenges for ASEAN Integration”.
About the Scientific Forum:
The concern for biodiversity awareness, conservation and sustainability is felt globally. Hence, the United Nations has declared 2011-2020 as the Decade of Biodiversity. However, biodiversity and sustainability must go hand-in-hand to attain the protection and preservation of life on earth. Wherever we live and whatever roles we do, we are part and affect the complex web of life. Anthropogenic activities influence much the state of biodiversity and sustainability of ecosystems. In line with this, fora and other scientific activities related to these aspects are much needed.
