topics as: integration of native forest species in traditional agroforestry systems for
enhancing their climate resilience; traditional agroecological systems to support food
security in the context of climate change; conservation and management of medicinal plant
resources and other non-timber forest products based on traditional knowledge for
sustainable livelihoods; governance and policy dimensions of integrating traditional and
formal knowledge and practices in forest management and human health.
