Forests and fungi: Mekong communities reap the rewards of a 500 million-year-old partnership

The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and the Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB)'s work on fungi in the Mekong region has been endorsed by the Mountain Futures Initiative, an international effort to find and support new projects that can improve the lives of mountain communities and safeguard their environments. The Initiative aims to plant the seeds of brighter, more sustainable futures in mountain regions around the world by bringing scientific research and traditional knowledge together.
