[ECOLOG-L] Max Gunther RIP
Dear Friends Many of you were fortunate enough to visit the Explorers Inn in Tambopata Peru and I would just like to inform you that the former owner Max Guenther Doering passed away passed away Friday night - He was 92 years old - He passed away quietly in his bed at home and comforted by several , members of his family. - He has been cremated and no final decision about his ashes have yet been taken until all his sons and daughters can gather in Lima next week probably I miss him <3 Jan Ygberg Translation and Interpreter Services English - Spanish - Swedish Servicios de traducción e interpretación simultánea español - inglés - sueco Översättningar och simultantolkning Engelska – Spanska - Svenska Juan Fanning 380 Lima 18 Peru INT+(511) 446 1099 casa/home INT+(51) 989749028 celular/mobile jygb...@gmail.com personal email

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Chemical mixtures to cool down
Bom dia Matheus In Peru people make smoothies and I have taught many local indigenous communities to make ice by just stirring any salt (a fertilizer for example) and put what they want to cool down in the middle of the mixture. Please see that liquid nitrogen can be hard to find in far off places. Local Amazon parties are usually beer drinking by putting beer bottles in the middle of a cut in half oil cylinder full of water and fertilizer and they cool down and keep cool since salts have a lower freezing point than water (and beer?) and thus the temperature is kept low. I know that there was a movie about this years ago but the truth is that many of my indigenous friends are now able to bring unspoiled fish and game from (alas every year) longer distances all the way to the market without being met half way on the river by intermediaries that pay a very low price and pocket all the profits just by having fast boats and coolers with ice or freezers running on LP gas or generators. Fair trade has thus become a reality for many of them. I also taught them how to make make jam and marmalade using natural pectin from a bag of citrus crushed pips and juice and sugar, which has meant that they only have to haul sugar to their far off farms and the rest is already available from their own crops. All this has been done ad Honorem since I believe in making what I call St Peters points by being able to answer whenever those pearly gates ( or whatever you choose to believe in) are opened and someone (St Peter or whoever) asks what you did with your life and you answer a million dollars and be told that that is the next door down but if you have shared your knowledge and skills freely he (she,it) will let you through to whatever is on the other side, if anything and thus avoid taking fresh fruit to the market and those middlemen plus the added value involved. I work for the Explorer's Inn on the lower Tambopata River in SE Peru and I would like to invite scientists to check out this combination of Low Impact Eco Tourism and Conservation and Research because it just might fit your needs. I have successfully posted on this list looking for applicants for our ground breaking free Resident Naturalists Programme but we are also considered by Oliver Phillips from the University of Leeds and I quote “As you know, we still have many plans to continue working at EI as it is an absolutely critical research centre now for Amazonian ecology. This includes the project to construct the canopy tower (in place 42.5 metres high) , as well as monitoring the long-term plots (28 years now)”. And Yadvinder Mahli from the University of Oxford “We greatly value the support that the Explorer's Inn has given to scientific research over the years, something that has led to it being one of the most important sites in all of Amazonia for scientific research”. So please check our webpage www.explorersinn.com and contact us. Parabens Jan Jan H. N.

The RAINFOR consortium of universities (of which the mentioned are but a few) have been doing studies on climate change patterns working at different heights of the Manu National Park all the way down to the Tambopata National Reserve and even all the way to Brazil. The Peruvian official SERNANP organisation, which manages the Manu Park could possibly also be another source. I have blind copied this to the people mentioned and maybe some of them will be able to contact you directly regarding whether such data exists. Un abrazo y saludos Jan Jan H. N.
