hello, my name is melissa. currently i am in madagascar until june/july but flexible with the where and when in the future. I am a student from western washington university with a self designed major in conservation biology of tropical and temperate forests.
i am seeking fellow treeclimbers and canopy researchers in the southern half of the globe. Ideally i would like to team up with some other researchers studying orchids, epiphytes, insects or ecology somewhere in madagascar, e. africa, indian ocean islands, australia, indonesia region, micronesia, melanesia, or polynesia. i have treeclimbing gear (excluding rope,) a grant to cover my basic costs to go anywhere in the world (but with a preference towards islands with unusual evolution,) i'm available until july, and i have the desire to learn about canopy ecology.
contact me if you would like to team up somewhere or if you know of a project that i can join. i will post this message to the universe for serendipidious opportunities, but i would prefer serious replys if possible. post something here or email me at This email address is being protected from spambots.
