He emphasized its crucial role in biodiversity conservation, species extinction prevention, ecosystem monitoring, and environmental contamination detection. Therefore, acknowledging that eDNA plays a vital role in the conservation and management of aquatic resources.
The president expressed hope that the seminar would inspire knowledge sharing and policy development, aiming to embed environmental consciousness as part of the Thai people’s “DNA.” Sustainable environmental development, he stressed, cannot be achieved without awareness, attitudes, and a collective conscience. Chulalongkorn University places great importance on creating value in aquatic resource conservation.
