MAP's EMR Project at Ban Talay Nok. A successful conclusion to their mangrove work

Chums. Happy Christmas.

This is a 10 minute film that draws to a conclusion the work MAP has accomplished in Ban Talay Nok. Despite the land tenure and control difficulties, Jim and Ning have done incredibly well, and are held in great respect by the village. Please take time to watch it. The physical work is in a different style to BLD but uses the same thinking as my project.
Hope 2010 is muddy and successful
Very best

MSc in Sustainable Development (Imperial / SOAS)

Delighted to tell you that the MSc is now officially dead. 76% for the research report ensures that the overall score is a Merit. So, back to the UK for graduation in March (15th) and perhaps a couple of warm flat beers. Thank you to all the people who have helped, researched with me, supervised, read bits, translated questionnaires and put up with my whining.
