permaculture

["Felicity Wright" <flickwright@ozemail.com.au>]

Hello Ute
Very happy to include anyone with an interest in SE Asia. 
Coincidentally I am currently (voluntarily) coordinating the Cambodia
Community Based Ecotourism Network - CCBEN see www.ccbenorg  
Ecotourism is still in relatively early days in Cambodia and have also
done some work reviewing an ecotourism project - such projects face a
numer of challenges in this country. 
best wishesflick

Subject:Re: [permaculture] Permaculture in SE Asia

 Dear Felicity,
 Even though I'm in Ireland I'm interested as I have recently
established
 contacts in Central Kalimantan with respect to rainforest
restoration,
 eco-tourism and local livelihoods / non-timber forest products. I'm
considering
 volunteering there some time in the future and have been trying to
learn about
 agroforestry etc. in SE Asia So if you take this off-line please let
me know.

 Slán,
 Ute
