Proceedings of SEAMEO BIOTROP 2nd International Conference on Tropical Biology

---

We are pleased to publish the proceedings of our Second International Conference on Tropical Biology held on 12 - 13 October, 2015 in Bogor, West Java Province, Indonesia. The conference theme, “Ecological Restoration in Southeast Asia: Challenges, Gains, and Future Directions”, was in response to the severe environmental degradation that the region is recently experiencing as well as in recognition of the increasing importance of the science and practice of ecological restoration as a way to regain the integrity of ecosystems while simultaneously enhancing human welfare. We believe that there are several past ecological restoration schemes by governments and non-governmental organizations that have been successful. Lessons learned from these experiences are critical for redefining environmental policies, determining and prioritizing research needs, and charting concerted efforts from all sectors of society towards a sustainable and integrated development of the ASEAN region.

We were fortunate to convene 131 scientists and practitioners from nine countries during the conference to share useful lessons, address challenges, and generate commitments to strengthen policy decisions and work collaboratively towards ecological restoration for sustainable and integrated regional development is Southeast Asia along global biodiversity and other conservation goals.
