Our team Since moving to the Peruvian Amazon in 1995, having graduated from Edinburgh
University, Chris has been a dedicated naturalist, environmental consultant
and educator and has undertaken research for a plethora of organisations
including WWF, Conservation International as well as the Peruvian government.
During this time he has established links with virtually all research stations,
tour operators and lodge owners and countless researchers in the province
of Madre de Dios. He has helped set-up research projects at almost all of
the research stations mentioned on this site though has been more closely
associated with Explorer's
Inn, one of the first jungle lodges and research stations to operate
in the Peruvian Amazon, where he worked as their principle ecological networker,
consultant and research co-ordinator for three years. He has also taught
on guide training courses at a number of the featured lodges. His enthusiasm,
understanding of the area and contacts mean that he is uniquely well placed
to source and guarantee research and training placements. He is currently
finishing his PhD studies investigating the ecological and economic impacts
of the Interoceanica Highway. Chris is based in Puerto Maldonado, Peru. He
is married to Sandra and they have a little girl. John Bell John has been an environmental journalist, researcher and woodsman since leaving Edinburgh University in 1994. He's most interested in connecting local groups with natural resources and supporting community development. To this end he’s heavily involved in the development of woodfuel for East Devon and West Dorset and is currently setting up an Axe Valley coppicing/woodland management group to supply training and timber for local needs. To this end he’s involved with East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Plymouth University’s forest training programme, Exeter University and Bristol University.
