Taking bold steps towards recovery and pandemic resilience, the ASEAN leaders in November 2020, adopted the ASEAN Comprehensive Recovery Framework (ACRF) or the regional exit strategy from the COVID-19 health crisis. This framework acknowledges the use of nature-based solutions, or actions to conserve, restore, and sustainably manage nature, including biodiversity as part of the region’s road to pandemic recovery.
As its contribution to realising the objectives of the ACRF, the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity and the Republic of Indonesia through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry-Directorate of Biodiversity Conservation of Species and Genetics, organised the Seventh ASEAN Heritage Parks Conference (AHP 7) in Bogor, Indonesia from 31 October to 3 November 2022.
