Long-term Ecological Studies in Yasuni, Ecuador
Dr. Nancy Garwood has been leading a study of plant flowering and fruiting in the Ecuadorian Amazon for more than two decades. Yasuní National Park is one of the biologically most diverse areas in the Amazon. Dr. Garwood will explain how and why she came to work at Yasuní and describe some results of this study.
She will also provide glimpses of its diverse flora and fauna. Dr. Garwood states that it is difficult to work in tropical forests without contributing toward their conservation, so she’s lead conservation projects in both Ecuador and Belize. Most of her recent projects are in collaboration with colleagues in Latin America, Europe, and the U.S., are funded by grants that she has written, and has provided research opportunities for students in the UK and Ecuador.
Dr. Nancy C. Garwood is an Adjunct Professor & Co-Curator of the Herbarium in the School of Biological Sciences, SIU Carbondale. She is a tropical botanist in the broadest sense, with active research projects in ecology, systematics, and conservation.
