Earlier this month, the Southeast Asian Botanic Garden (SEABG) Network, in collaboration with the International Plant Sentinel Network (IPSN), hosted the first ever Biosecurity and Plant Health Forum focusing on the Southeast Asia region.

The forum brought together over 30 participants from six countries across the region, providing a valuable opportunity to:

• Learn about the IPSN and its international efforts,
• Explore biosecurity practices in collection management,
• Share the region’s experiences and expertise,
• Brainstorm on current issues and challenges on the region, and
• Prioritise future actions on biosecurity and plant health for Southeast Asia

This is only the beginning! Stay rooted to the SEABG Facebook page for announcements about upcoming activities for biosecurity and plant health in Southeast Asia.
