For our new Biodiversa+ project on Bridging Values for Just Conservation I had the honour to sign a collaboration agreement with Dean Dr. Chanda Vongsombath of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences at the National University of #Laos. Excited for our joint research on #nametphoulouey National Park!
