| Sat Sep 04 | Slide Show | Highlands of Peru w Heifer International | Kim Freeman | Set against the spectacular backdrop of the highlands of Peru, Kim Freeman visited remote communities and their project participants with Heifer International in January of this year. As a volunteer veterinarian she travelled with the Peru staff in the Cerro de Pasco region to visit families whom are recipients of training, support and animals from Heifer International. It was an unbelievably inspiring and humbling experience to meet the men, women and children who live and work in these communities that are all at or above 10,000 ft altitude. She was also honored to attend a Passing on the Gift ceremony, drink chicha (fermented beer) and eat cuy (Guinea pig) in celebration. This presentation will share some of the beautiful images she was treated to in her travels through the region. Kim Freeman spent six months in South America travelling and volunteering through Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina and Venezuela. |

| Sat Sep 25 | Slide Show | Borneo: Island in the Clouds | Diane Marron | Borneo: Island in the Clouds Please join me on this research expedition into the rainforest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. The key objective of this research which is supported by the Royal Society, UK is to maintain biodiversity, ecosystem function and conservation value in the face of climate and land use change. Until the mid-20th century Borneo was almost completely covered with pristine rainforests. Over recent decades these rainforests, particularly the lowland forests have been subjected to industrial-scale logging and/or cleared to make way for plantations. The forests that do remain are often highly degraded or scattered small fragments embedded in agricultural landscapes. This threatens the ecosystem services these forests provide such as carbon storage and sequestration, soil stabilization and watershed protection, as well as many of Borneo’s plant and animal species. We will be conducting research in the pristine rainforest of the Danum Valley Conservation Area and the degraded lowland forests of Ulu Segama and Malua Forest Reserves. These areas are home to Borneo’s most iconic (and threatened) species including orang-utan, Asian pygmy elephant, Sumatran rhino and clouded leopard. The lowland forests are dominated by the enormous canopy tree dipterocarp and a highly diverse flora consisting of 7,000+ species of flowering plants |
