From Shane Dwyer, Melbourne, Australia
It was pointed out to me a few years ago that we put men on the moon before anybody thought to put wheels on suitcases. After reading the lovely interview with Nalini Nadkarni about her work in the cloud forests of Costa Rica, I realised that we also explored the moon before we had explored the forest canopies(1 April, p 42).
I trained and worked as a forester and the first time I went on a tree-top walk (in Tasmania) I realised that there was a world up there that I had never experienced.
