Public forum: Humanity and Nature

The public forum "Humanity and Nature - Traditional, Cultural and Alernative Perspectives" will share the key lessons and conclusions from the Sombath Symposium, a two day event which aims to exchange and explore various traditional, cultural and alternative perspectives on how humans value and interact with nature.

Participants of the symposium come from Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and India, and represent a wide range of ethnic, cultural, religious and vocational backgrounds and perspectives.

The forum will also be joined by local communities and activists to contribute to the discussion on their struggles to protect livelihood and nature.
