In July this year, PhD candidate Jelaine Lim Gan graduated with her PhD and can now proudly claim the title of Dr Jelaine. Whilst she has returned to the University of the Philippines to take up her Lectureship position once again and build a Landscape Ecology lab, I am taking a moment to remember the trip we did in January 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philippines are a fantastic place to visit, for research and eating purposes. And the countryside is absolutely amazing. If you fancy researching mangrove restoration, agroforestry, Philippines crocodile rehabilitation and forest conservation – there are wonderful opportunities: just reach out to Jelaine <\/a>and start a conversation: jlgan@up.edu.ph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this was funded as engagement and impact activity, which has now resulted in a MOU between Newcastle University and the University of the Philippines, we held a student masterclass on predictive mapping and modelling at the University of the Philippines, gave a seminar, help a GIS training workshop up north for staff at Mabuwaya Foundation and visited agroforestry farmers. That visit has informed a lot of the recent agroforestry research plans in the lab, which we are hoping to explore jointly with partners in the Philippines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
