Empowering Communities: Forest Restoration and Livelihood Enhancement in Northern Thailand and Laos

The Wyss Academy for Nature at the University of Bern offers a new approach to pressing issues at the intersection of climate change, biodiversity loss and land use change. In its 2023 Annual Report, it looks back at the fourth year since its creation. Watch this interview with Dr. Pin Pravalprukskul, Programme Manager at Hub Southeast Asia (headed by Dr. Horst Weyerhäuser).
Many countries in Southeast Asia face significant challenges in protecting the environment and the rights of local communities. That is why the core activities of Hub Southeast Asia, led by Dr. Horst Weyerhäuser, revolve around establishing connections between research institutes, scholars from diverse backgrounds, the private sector, local communities and colleagues from the local and national government.
