The one-day Asean Conference on Medicinal Forest Trees held on September 7 in New Clark City, Pampanga gathered around 117 participants from Southeast Asia. It underlined the role of researchers in increasing awareness about the potential benefits of the important natural resource.
“Through your rigorous research, innovative thinking, and unwavering [resolve] to responsible stewardship of our natural resources, we have unearthed possibilities that will undoubtedly expand beyond the limits of current knowledge,” Ferrer said. Besides the inadequate research support, the conference acknowledged the shortage of published literature on medicinal forest trees. It also emphasized the substantial threats posed by forest degradation and habitat loss to vital medicinal forest tree species. Furthermore, there is a pressing need for more ethnobotanical and pharmacological research on medicinal plants and forest trees.
To enhance science communication, there will be an improved information and education campaign on the medicinal value of forest trees, along with increased promotion of RDE on medicinal forest trees.
