Our Team in the lab has been working efficiently to introduce Research based solution to the regional issues related to forest, Climate change. Illegal trade of timber is one of the major issues, on which @DrVivekVaishnav has given an insight through this talk.
Sharing the link to all who are seeking research scope and opportunities in plant science.
Our teak is thankful to @ANRFIndia for the opportunity given to us.
