The 2nd Biennial Conference of Tropical Biodiversity

Biodiversity is a term related to various life on earth. Biodiversity is all the wealth that exists on earth consisting of species diversity, biodiversity, genetic variation within one species, and diversity of communities. Biodiversity is not evenly distributed, but varies widely across the world and within regions, the diversity of which is highly dependent on environmental factors such as temperature, rainfall, altitude, soil geography, and the presence of other species. Biodiversity is also very important in supporting ecosystem services including air quality, climate including carbon dioxide absorption, water purification, pollination, and erosion prevention. Rapid environmental changes have led to many mass extinctions of species. Therefore, protecting its existence has become one of the greatest challenges humanity has to face.

The 2^nd Biennial Conference of Tropical Biodiversity is organized by the Faculty of Forestry, Hasanuddin University Makassar. This conference is a scientific forum to enhance science and technology, and together with researchers, scientists, practitioners, and scholars to anticipate the impacts of climate change in the field of biodiversity. This is also conducted in order to promote Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
