Welcome to the December 2025 edition of BIOCourier, which highlights SEAMEO BIOTROP’s continued commitment to advancing biodiversity education and sustainability across Southeast Asia. The closing quarter of 2025 reflects important progress through innovation, partnerships, and regional collaboration, including the SEAMEO BIOTROP Outlook 2025–2026 and the Agro-EcoEdu-Tourism (AEET) Prototype Launch in Brunei Darussalam.

Alongside program achievements, SEAMEO BIOTROP remains committed to strengthening institutional governance, human resources, and organizational cohesion, as reflected in activities such as Mancakrida 2025. Flagship initiatives including the Geopark Educational Model (GEM) and the SWARA Awards further demonstrate our efforts to bridge science, education, and community action in support of the Sustainable Development Goals.

We sincerely thank our partners, stakeholders, and contributors for their continued support. May this edition of BIOCourier inspire stronger collaboration toward a sustainable and resilient future.

Warm regards,

Acting Director and Deputy Director for Administration
