biodiversity conservation. The 5th international canopy conference will see the
integration of canopy science with natural science, social science and
information technology to address these challenges. The conference will also
provide an opportunity to build networks across continents to facilitate
capacity building and foster collaboration across sites and disciplines within
countries and across continents.
