The twelfth meeting between experts and representatives among Asia-Pacific tropical conservation programs is taking place in Sri Lanka. Tropical conservation is linked to the primary industries of most countries participating and with the filtration of global CO2 gas as a whole. The tropics cover 40% of the earth’s surface area and have the biggest impact on global ecosystems. Asia and India have a disproportionate burden to conserve their existing habitats. This committee and committees like this one were formed mainly to alleviate that burden a countries came to assist the tropics with conservation efforts.
This meeting is vitally important to the future of conservation because it provides a context in which to discuss conservation efforts unimpeded by ongoing tensions between the spotlighted countries in the Hindu-Kashmir region. This political cycle wouldn’t be the first to have government tensions undermine conservation efforts and meetings like this are a sign that the organizations responsible for keeping the tropics safe will be resilient to ongoing conflict.

I am glad to hear that meetings which will hopefully lead to better conservation agreements are taking place. What kinds of things are being debated in this meeting?
