Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 1st of May I am going to run in the Richmond Half Marathon! Which is 21.1km or 13.1miles! Which I hope to compete in less than 1:45 mintues! It will be my first ever attempt at such a long distance, having only competed in two 10km races before. 

Their Mission: To engage people worldwide in scientific field research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment.

I will be helping Glen Reynolds the director and senior scientist at SEARRP and some of his team in scienticfic reachers in Borneo's rainforest investigate the effects of climate change on the rainforest.  I will being helping them collect data for their research projects, as part the exciting Earthwatch project. This data is complied and used to advice and set guidelines or laws for logging and palm oil companies to improve the sustainability. 

This will involve my planting seeds, measuring out transects, making and hanging nets, measuring trees and environmental quality surveys. 

I want to gain from this programme a life changing and learning
experience that will further my enthusiasm and education about a environment and country very different from my own, to learn how similar problems we find in the UK with conversing wildlife and ecosystems are experiment on the other side of the world; and how we collect data to pass laws and make gild lines to help the solve sustainability balance and previse this vital rainforest against the deforestation of the trees for palm oil companies and the government to
improve the sustainability of the area and future areas which might be effected to make sure that future generations have access to the same resources as the present has.
