Science @ SAFE now online
In late 2020 I participated in the Science@SAFE (Stability of Altered Forest Ecosystem) Project virtual conference:
“The Stability of Altered Forest Ecosystems Project has been running for ten years with generous support from the Sime Darby Foundation. The Science@SAFE 2020 virtual conference brings together the science and achievements of the past ten years. We look at our impacts, capacity building, new technologies, carbon and how this project has improved our understanding of oil palm dominated landscapes and the resilience of Borneo's forest ecosystem.” - SAFE PROJECT MALAYSIA.
It was great to be involved and hear about some of the findings from SAFE.
I talked about ecosystem resilience in a tropical landscape, summarising a handful of the many important results on ecosystem resilience from the SAFE project. The whole conference has been uploaded to Youtube (link below).
Here’s to 10 more years of research @SAFE!
