It finances and monitors a broad suite of projects throughout the tropics aimed at implementing sustainable forest management, promoting conservation and improving the lives of forest-dependent people. One such project is PD 31/94 Rev. 1 (F): Planning practical and cost-effective strategies for genetic-resource conservation of commercial tree species in tropical Asia and the Pacific. This project, which was funded by the governments of Japan and the United States and implemented by the Regional Centre for Forest Management, has developed technical guidelines for the ex situ and in situ conservation of commercial tree species. This State of the art Review, the first in a series of four publications produced by the project, is based on country reports prepared by resource experts in the project's five participating countries: Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. It reveals the progress being made in the conservation of commercial forest tree species in each country and identifies gaps that will need to be filled if conservation is to be completely successful. ITTO believes that such conservation is essential for sustainable development. These genetic resources form the basis of the current tropical timber trade - which brings much needed revenue and employment to tropical countries and provides an incentive to retain natural forests - and will constitute the raw material for genetic improvement in the future. But they are also important for other reasons: for example, most of these species are dominant in the forest and play crucial ecological roles. I am therefore pleased that this publication, along with its three companion volumes, records valuable information that will aid in the long-term conservation of many forest trees. I hope and expect that the series will make a significant contribution by providing users with practical approaches and guidelines for implementing effective ex situ and in situ genetic-resource conservation strategies. ITTO is indebted to the dedicated staff of the Regional Centre for Forest Management and to other national and international experts for their painstaking work in developing these publications. It also appreciates the cooperation extended by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, which undertook a technical and scientific review of the publication series through its representative in Malaysia. Finally, I would like to express my personal hope that this series will assist all ITTO member countries in their efforts to promote tropical forest conservation. DR. MANOEL SOBRAL FILHO Executive Director International Tropical Timber Organization vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The succes of the project on planning practical and cost-effective strategies tor genetic-resource conservation of commercial tree species in tropical Asia and the Pacific owes on the financial support which were provided by the USA and Japanese Governments through the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO). The continuous support and guidance rendered during the project implementation by the ITTO Secretariat in particular Dr. Manoel Sobral Filho (Executive Director); Dr. Efransjah (Project Manager) and Dato' Dr. B.

Therefore, an ethnomedical analysis was carried out in order to document the traditional medicinal uses of plants, which are commonly used among the Kelantanese Aborigines. A detailed systematic exploration of traditional ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal plants of rural area in Kelantan was carried out mainly through interviews among aboriginal households (house-to-house interviews) and traditional healers. A total of 46 species was identified as having potential medicinal efficacy in curing different diseases and illnesses. Findings from this study can be used as a pharmacological basis in selecting plants for further phytochemical and pharmaceutical-nutrition studies. Keywords: Ethnomedical, medicinal plants, Kelantanese aborigines. Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) had reported that 80% of populations in some Asian and African countries still depend on traditional medicine for primary health care (Lai et al., 2010; Samuel et al., 2010). Traditionally, local communities worldwide are very knowledgeable about local plants and other natural resources (Martin, 1995).

INTRODUCTION The importance of the preservation of the tropical rainforest is discussed all over the world (e.g. 1972 Stockholm Conference, 1975 Helsinki Conference, 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, and the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development). Tropical rainforest has been recognized as one of the main elements for maintaining climatic conditions, for the prevention of impoverishment of human societies and for the maintenance of biodiversity, since they support an immense richness of life (Withmore, 1990). In addition sustainable management of the environment and elimination of absolute poverty are included as the 21 st Century most important challenges embedded in the Millennium Development Goals. The forest of Southeast Asia constitutes, after the South American, the second most extensive rainforest formation in the world. The archipelago of tropical Southeast Asia is one of the world's great reserves of biodiversity and endemism. This holds true for The Philippines in particular: it is one of the most important “biodiversity hotspots” .1.

Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

  • Assessment of the Diversity and Distribution of the Threatened Tree Species in a Logged Forest in Vietnam
    Mongabay.com Open Access Journal - Tropical Conservation Science Vol.4 (1):82-96, 2011 Research article Assessment of the diversity and distribution of the threatened tree species in a logged forest in Vietnam J. Millet¹ and Luu Hong Truong² ¹Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, 6 rue Raphaël Dubois, 69622 Villeurbanne Cedex, France. ²Institute of Tropical Biology, 85 Tran Quoc Toan, Dist. 3, Hochiminh City, Vietnam. Correspondance : [email protected] Abstract Conservation of biodiversity and of endangered tree species in tropical forests represents a challenge in the era of deforestation and overlogging. Assessments of biodiversity and of conservation species are essential to estimating the conservation value of ecosystems in order to develop appropriate management measures. This paper discusses the floristic composition, the diversity, and the regeneration of the conservation species in a logged forest in southern Vietnam. Twenty five one hectare plots have been set up using circular sub-plots of 8 metres diameter and at a distance of 10m from the centre point of other sub-plots. The sampling is approximately 50% in each plot. Ten years after the last logging, the species richness appears low, when compared with the close protected area, but the diversity is quite high and conservation species still occur. Twelve conservation species have been studied from the point of view of their distribution and regeneration. Some are close to extinction but some others show promise in terms of regeneration. Six floristic groups have been identified and, among them, two are of interest from a conservation point of view. This logged forest still has a high conservation value, and the process that aims at developing protection measures is clearly relevant.

    Maintenance and conservation of Dipterocarp diversity in tropical forests _______________________________________________ Mohammad Nazrin B Abdul Malik A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science Department of Animal and Plant Sciences November 2019 1 i Thesis abstract Many theories and hypotheses have been developed to explain the maintenance of diversity in plant communities, particularly in hyperdiverse tropical forests. Maintenance of the composition and diversity of tropical forests is vital, especially species of high commercial value. I focus on the high value dipterocarp timber species of Malaysia and Borneo as these have been extensive logged owing to increased demands from global timber trade. In this thesis, I explore the drivers of diversity of this group, as well as the determinants of global abundance, conservation and timber value. The most widely supported hypothesis for explaining tropical diversity is the Janzen Connell hypothesis. I experimentally tested the key elements of this, namely density and distance dependence, in two dipterocarp species. The results showed that different species exhibited different density and distance dependence effects. To further test the strength of this hypothesis, I conducted a meta-analysis combining multiple studies across tropical and temperate study sites, and with many species tested. It revealed significant support for the Janzen- Connell predictions in terms of distance and density dependence. Using a phylogenetic comparative approach, I highlight how environmental adaptation affects dipterocarp distribution, and the relationships of plant traits with ecological factors and conservation status. This analysis showed that environmental and ecological factors are related to plant traits and highlights the need for dipterocarp conservation priorities.
