I traveled 160 miles by car and hiked a total of 40 miles.
For my research, I have traveled 8,653 miles away from home in New York. That’s two flights totaling 24 hours of travel, just to arrive on the island. In Madagascar, I had to travel for five days to get to The Lost Forest. My work would not have been possible without support from Fjällräven, a popular Swedish outdoor clothing company, and the Explorer’s Club; both of these organizations which have funded my travel and field gear for my expedition to Madagascar. Organizations and institutions like Fjällräven and the Explorer’s Club help fund and promote scientific expeditions around the world, enabling groundbreaking research in faraway places. If you are interested in exploration, science, and nature, these (along with National Geographic) are valuable resources to get your adventurous career started!
By hiking! Hiking is our primary mode of transport in the forest. The nearest road is a three-hour hike away.
