Dr. Hung has been an active supporter of PanNature since our early days. With his lifelong experience and dedication in research, teaching, and expertise in the fields of biodiversity conservation and natural resources management, he has greatly contributed to the development of PanNature even before accepting the role of board chair in 2017.

We would like to share our condolences to Dr. Hung’s family. This is a great loss for his family, the Institute of Ecological and Biological Resources where he worked, and PanNature.
