The project addressed the impediments in taxonomy, which constrain the much-needed information on biodiversity conservation in the ASEAN region, by promoting and enhancing the implementation of the Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI).
The project conducted taxonomy-related activities to support the needs of the ESABII, GBIF, and APBON regarding taxonomic information. The project charted the GTI course in Southeast Asia to update the Southeast Asia GTI RAP for 2017–2025, determined the impact of past taxonomy training in ASEAN from 2010–2015, and conducted a training course on the taxonomy of high-elevation vascular plants.
Participants of the two-day inaugural Biodiversity Science Forum organised by the ACB Scientific Advisory Committee held in Bangkok, Thailand.
