We will be extending our study of the Sumatran rainforest, the endangered orangutan and other species, and the indigenous Batak culture.
Our students will conduct a series of interviews with people we meet on the trip in order to better understand the human dimensions of the problems facing Sumatra and the rainforest ecosystem. We will also be investigating first-hand the consequences of the recent disastrous fires that have caused environmental havoc in the region .
Our students will be periodically submitting their impressions to Kidlink KIDPROJ Forum to be posted on the general forum. If interested schools would like to write to Kidlink KIDPROJ Forum or to the Sumatra Trekkers as a whole group, we welcome questions and comments that pertain to our current project, and we encourage participants to review the web pages from last year so we can avoid having to repeat information previously posted.
We are not requesting formal registration for our project, but email for our group can be sent to the following address, that of my colleague, Mike Gordon, at Dhahran School, a private school that serves the children of oil company employees at Saudi Aramco. Personal correspondence to me, Bill Cason, can be sent to my home email address (which is occasionally out-of-service for periodic upgrades).
