As part of Acre’s new interview series, Conversations about Carbon, Aysen Naylor, our Senior Research Consultant – APAC, will be speaking with experts to share knowledge surrounding the nature-based solutions (NbS) sector. This provides the opportunity to increase awareness, explore trends and unpack challenges, misinformation and potential backlash that may arise when trying to protect biodiversity.
Our first instalment features Dr Glen Reynolds, Director of South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership(SEARRP), and focuses on conservation programmes that he has been running in Sabah, Malaysia, for more than 20 years.
When Dr Reynolds isn’t running scientific research programmes, you may recognise him from his work with Dame Judi Dench on her Wild Borneo series or with Sir David Attenborough while filming in the Danum Valley (SEARRP’s HQ). The Prince and Princess of Wales also visited Dr Reynolds and the wildlife research laboratory during their tour of South-east Asia.
While these exciting opportunities are a huge privilege, Dr Reynolds’s main passion lies within the research programme he facilitates with scientists to provide scientific-based solutions for rainforest conservation, sustainability, and climate change as well as advising policy makers and those involved in managing natural resources.
The partnership also conducts work around carbon financing, through the voluntary carbon market.
