Malaysia & Thailand succeed in domesticating threatened plant species in degraded ecosystems
December 19, 2019
Malaysia and Thailand are mega-biodiversity landscapes and rapid development and climate change have inevitably resulted in the degradation of terrestrial ecosystems. The problem of forest degradation and potential biodiversity loss is critical and Malaysia and Thailand are addressing these problems through research and development initiatives.
