In November 2021, the Global Conservation Consortium for Oak hosted a free, online series of identification workshops, focusing on oaks in Southeast Asia. The workshops provided a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the priority threatened oak species native to Southeast Asia, including useful information on how to identify the species out in the field, and more. The first, led by Dr. Joeri Sergej Strijk, of the Institute for Biodiversity and Environmental Research, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, and the Alliance for Conservation Tree Genomics, focused on oaks of Brunei and Borneo. The second included presentations on the oaks of Vietnam, by Dr. Ngọc Nguyễn Văn, of Da Lat University, and oaks of Laos, by Dr. Phetlasy Souladeth, of the National University of Laos. The recordings of both workshops can be viewed here.
Botanic Gardens Conservation International’s work aims to promote and develop a more efficient, cost effective and rational approach to plant conservation in botanic gardens. We will do this by leading and advocating, leading innovative and strategic projects, building plant conservation capacity, and providing funding.
