SUMMARY:Rosa Vásquez Espinoza: The Spirit of the Rainforest
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the publication of The Spirit of the Rainforest by Dr Rosa Vásquez Espinoza with an author talk and signing. \nBefore you step into the jungle\, there are a few things you need to know… Join scientist Dr Rosa Vasquez Espinoza as she uncovers one of the most unexplored regions on the planet. Dr Rosa is no stranger to the Amazon. \nGrowing up with the rainforest as her back garden\, she learnt the lessons of the rainforest from her grandmother\, a native healer in natural medicine. She went on to pursue a classical education in science\, gaining a PhD in the US\, but has always been pulled back to the heart of the Amazon. As a leading biologist in her field\, Rosa continues to explore the region through a unique blend of scientific inquiry and ancient insight. \nDr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza is a Peruvian Amazonian-Andean scientist\, conservationist\, National Geographic Explorer\, and award-winning artist. She blends science with indigenous knowledge to protect biodiversity and culture. \nAs founder of Amazon Research Internacional\, she works with indigenous communities to safeguard the Amazon\, from discovering new microbes in the Boiling River to leading Peru’s first chemical analysis of stingless bee honey. Named the Ashaninka International Ambassador\, her work has earned global recognition\, including BBC’s 100 Women and The Explorers Club’s 50 People Changing the World. \nPre-order the book here. \nThe event is free but please do RSVP to read@heronbooks.live.
