Numerous biological research groups have contributed to knowledge of tropical rainforests and biodiversity in Southeast Asia. Much of this knowledge has not yet been sufficiently utilized by local people in the course of their various activities, however. This project therefore aims to assess the possible benefits, monetary and non-monetary, that can be drawn this stock of knowledge. Project research will analyze current utilization of specialist knowledge of biodiversity in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, and develop a new system in order to enhance its utility to local populations.
