Susan Laurance, together with husband Bill, is one of a team of ecologists
tracking the interaction of plants, insects and animals, and comparing the
intact, developed
and regenerating forest areas. They’re adding the latest chapter to data
extending back almost 20 years. Susan and Bill, an American, have worked in
rainforests in Australia as well as in South America. Susan took PTK on a
tour of the bi-national Smithsonian-INPA sites north of Manaus and
provided some practical “do’s and dont’s” for living and working in the
rainforest.
