Challenging questions How to make biodiversity issue and research attractive to  students (young generation in general) How to secure research fund for multi-years biodiversity research  using multi- and interdisciplinary approaches How to build a common perspective among natural and social  scientists in order to establish a common concept to face biodiversity issue How to establish a ‘mutually symbiotic’ collaboration between  biodiversity researchers (from developing and developed countries) and farmers/villagers involved in the real situation of biodiversity management and conservation How to make the results of biodiversity studies implementable for  policy decision making
