2019 Keynote Speaker Dr. Meg Lowman at Treehouse Conference
Dr. Margaret "CanopyMeg" Lowman's delivered the keynote talk for the International TreeHouse Builders' Conference, October 2019
"Despite our best intentions, we are losing global forests at a rapid rate. But we know that trees keep us alive with all their important biological services, and that they are home to over 50% of Earth's biodiversity. The exploration of forest canopies is relatively new, pioneered in the 1980s with the development of ropes, harnesses and slingshots. With the addition of canopy walkways and inflatables to their toolkit, arbornauts can now access treetops around the world to study this eighth continent of the world. In this talk, I will share some stories about canopy exploration, the toolkit to reach the treetops, and most important, how canopy access is inspiring the conservation of forests. There is no time to lose!"
