Professor Shujaul Mulk Khan delivered presidential speech and inaugurated the 19th International Society of Ethnobiology Congress at Cairns Australia

Professor Dr. Shujaul Mulk Khan, Professor of Ecology and Conservation at the Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, and President of the International Society of Ethnobiology (ISE), proudly represented Pakistan at the 19th International Society of Ethnobiology Congress, held in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. The congress brought together Indigenous knowledge holders, researchers, conservationists, policymakers, and students from around the world to advance the global agenda of biocultural diversity, ethical research, and the conservation of Indigenous knowledge systems.

As President of the International Society of Ethnobiology, Professor Khan presided over the opening ceremony and welcomed delegates from all across the globe. In his presidential address, he emphasized the Society's enduring commitment to promoting ethical research, strengthening partnerships with Indigenous and local communities, and safeguarding the world's interconnected biological and cultural diversity. He highlighted the importance of the Society's founding vision, inspired by the Declaration of Belém, and reaffirmed the need for collaborative efforts to address the growing challenges of biodiversity loss, climate change, and the erosion of traditional ecological knowledge.

During the scientific sessions, Professor Khan also presented his research entitled "Wild Food Plant Foraging in the World's Highest Karakoram Mountains: A Generational Perspective." The study documented 58 wild food plant species used by the Balti communities of Gilgit-Baltistan, including 23 species reported for the first time in Pakistan as wild foods. The research demonstrated the vital role of wild food plants in strengthening food security, supporting local livelihoods, and preserving the rich biocultural heritage of the Karakoram region, while highlighting the urgent need to conserve traditional ecological knowledge for future generations.

Professor Khan's participation reflected Pakistan's growing contribution to international research on ethnobiology, biodiversity conservation, and Indigenous knowledge systems. His leadership of the International Society of Ethnobiology and presentation of nationally significant research further enhanced the global visibility of Quaid-i-Azam University and the Pakistan Academy of Sciences, while strengthening opportunities for international scientific collaboration in the fields of ecology, conservation, and biocultural diversity.

Furthermore, It’s pertinent to mention that He is the first ever President from Asia, Africa and Oceania region that is a moment of Pride for Pakistan in general and QAU in particular. For more details about the society and Congress follow the links;
