The closing keynote presentation starts

Dr Willie Smits was asked to be the closing keynote speaker because of his engagement with students via the DeforestACTION initiative.
DeforestACTION (http://dfa.tigweb.org/) is a global movement of youth and schools taking action to stop deforestation and create a permanent habitat for orangutans and other species that depend on forest ecosystems. Since 2010, DeforestACTION has connected over 17,000 youth and students around the world to learn more about, and collaborate across borders to address, the pressing issue of deforestation.
I support DeforestACTION. We need to protect orangutans and other species that depend on forest ecosystems. Deforestation must be stop.
