A two-week training workshop aiming
at providing a common background on
forest genetic resources to graduate
students and young scientists was
held in Kuala Lumpur, 5-16 June 2006.
The workshop, besides other topics,
also addressed the urgent needs and
challenges in managing forest ecosystems,
especially in the Asia Pacific region.
This workshop was jointly organized
by the International
Plant Genetic Resources Institute
(IPGRI) and the Federal
Research and Training Centre for Forests,
Natural Hazards and Landscape, Austria
(BFW), in collaboration with Asia
Pacific Forest Genetic Resources Programme
(APFORGEN), Asia
Pacific Association of Forestry Research
Institutions (APAFRI), and Forest
Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM).
A total of 28 young scientists from
nine countries: Cambodia, China, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines,
Thailand and Viet Nam, participated
in this intensive training workshop.
The topics covered included forest
biodiversity, genetic diversity, evolutionary
genetics in forest tree populations,
spatial pattern of genetic diversity
and its sampling, in situ and ex situ
conservation, as well as case studies
on regional issues. Two field visits
were organized for the participants.
During the first field visit, participants
visited the Biotechnology Division
of FRIM, and were taken on a guided
tour of the division’s seed
technology, micro-propagation and
genetic research facilities, and the
FRIM museum and a short jungle walk.
The second field visit was to the
FRIM’s experimentation station
located in Bidor, about two hours
by road north of Kuala Lumpur. This
experimental station was built on
ex-tin mine, and the main focus of
the station is to research the restoration
of the barren sandy land by planting
suitable fast growing exotics such
as Acacia mangium, and also some indigenous
species such as Hopea odorata.
