Proceedings of SEAMEO BIOTROP 3rd ICTB: "Conservation, Enhancementand Sustainable Use of Indigenous Tropical Flora and Fauna"

We are pleased to publish the proceedings of our Third International Conference on Tropical Biology held on 20-21 September, 2018 in Bogor, West Java Province, Indonesia. The conference theme, “Conservation, Enhancement, and Sustainable Use of Indigenous Tropical Flora and Fauna”, was in response to the urgent need in ensuring a sustainable use of indigenous tropical flora and fauna, as well as the conservation of species facing extinction due to rapid habitat loss caused by rampant deforestation for agricultural purposes and massive infrastructure development, unregulated collection and trafficking of indigenous plants and animals. We believe that there are several past experiences of sustainable use and conservation schemes by governments and non-governmental organizations that have been successful. Lessons learned fr om these experiences are critical to generate and formulate practical and sustainable conservation strategies for indigenous tropical flora and fauna, determine and prioritize research needs based on current policies and research results, and strengthen participation and contribution of stakeholders in eliminating current problems and at the same time, enhancing the conservation and sustainable use of the region's biodiversity and natural resources.

We were fortunate to convene 227 scientists and practitioners from eight countries during the conference to share useful lessons, address challenges, and generate commitments to strengthen policy decisions and work collaboratively towards conservation and sustainable use of indigenous tropical flora and fauna, especially in the Southeast Asia region.
