Alisos and Amazonas 2030

Coming home

Some of the participants Some of the participants

On 25 April 2010, Volans was visted by Amazonia campaigner Martín von Hildebrand, and then on 21 May this year we were visited by his partner, Wendy Arenas Wightman. Having flown in from Cartagena earlier today, I took a cab across to Usaquen this afternoon for a session with Wendy and board members from Alisos and from the Amazonas 2030 Partnership. It felt like coming home–and we are already thinking through how we can work together in future, alongside some of the other organisations Wendy has helped introduce me to here in Colombia.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with older material still available on this site.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on the Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition to this website, my blogs have appeared on such sites as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, Good Deals, Guardian Sustainable Business and Huffington Post.

In this new iteration of the site, the ‘Comments’ function has been reanimated. Please do make use of it.
