People in tropical areas have hunted animals, gathered wild plants and found shelter in forests, grasslands, and wetlands for thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. Some human influences on animal and plant are negative and some positive. Our goal is to understand how plants, animals and humans have responded to one another's influences in tropical areas, where many people depend on the natural environment for their survival. However, use of plants and animals sometimes harms the environment and this means that it is less able to provide food, water and shelter for people. It also sometimes means that animals that help to keep plants in the area go extinct. By bringing people together from around the world, including from many tropical countries, we will learn what we know about human influences on tropical plants and animals and in turn how plants and animals influence humans. Bringing together scientists who work with plants, animals and the behavior of people, and indigenous leaders from communities who depend on the natural forests, grasslands and wet lands, may help us resolve some of the problems occurring in these areas. Our meeting should help create new ways of understanding tropical nature so that we can reduce negative influences and promote positive ones.

数千年至数十万年来，热带地区的人们捕猎动物，采集野生植物，并在森林、草原和湿地中寻找庇护所。人类对动物和植物的影响有些是负面的，有些是正面的。 我们的目标是了解热带地区植物、动物和人类如何应对彼此的影响，那里的许多人依赖自然环境生存。然而，植物和动物的利用有时会损害环境，这意味着它无法为人们提供食物、水和住所。 有时这也意味着帮助维持该地区植物的动物灭绝。 通过将来自世界各地（包括许多热带国家）的人们聚集在一起，我们将了解人类对热带植物和动物的影响，以及植物和动物如何影响人类。将研究植物、动物和人类行为的科学家与依赖天然森林、草原和湿地的社区的土著领导人聚集在一起，可能有助于我们解决这些地区出现的一些问题。 我们的会议应该有助于创造理解热带自然的新方法，以便我们能够减少负面影响并促进积极影响。
