Kurzbeschreibung: Southeast Asia occupies only three percent of the earth’s surface, but contains over 20 percent of all known plant, animal, and marine Species. Three of the world’s mega-diverse countries are in the region – Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This richness makes the region a crucial component of global environmental sustainability.

What is the current status of biodiversity in the ASEAN region? What are the challenges facing Southeast Asia’s natural treasures and how do these affect the lives of over 500 million people? What can we do to conserve biodiversity? These and more questions will be addressed at the ASEAN Conference on Biodiversity (ACB2009) on 21 to 23 October 2009 in Singapore.

To be hosted by the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) and the National Parks Board (NParks) of Singapore, ACB2009 is envisioned to be one of 2009’s most important gatherings of key biodiversity stakeholders and players in the ASEAN region who will discuss emerging trends, issues, and concerns on biodiversity Conservation and management.
