Home > News
The IFP, strong of its 30 years experience in the study of tropical forests of the Western Ghats of India, and of many reference studies in South-East Asia (Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam), has been chosen by the International Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC), to co-organise with the University of Pondicherry, an important scientific conference, the objective of which is to reinforce exchanges and scientific collaborations on the theme of conservation of biodiversity in tropical Asia.
More than 130 delegates from 20 countries (including India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and the US) are expected for this conference which will be held in Mahabalipuram (South of Chennai, Tamil Nadu) on the coming March 6 to 8. The majority of them will visit Pondicherry and the IFP, the day after the conference, on March 9.
Beyond its role as a co-organiser, the IFP will be significantly “visible” by means of assuming the scientific direction of a symposium, and of more than 10 communications and posters presented by its researchers and by the doctorates that the Institute hosts.
