In the unexplored canopies of the Kalakad Mudanthurai Tiger Reserve, this pioneer is assessing biodiversity and developing a new paradigm for restoration ecology.

A specialist in tropical botany, Hallé explores the infinite mysteries of the flora of the world. Margaret Lowman is a pioneer of temperate forest canopy research; her career spans over 25 years in Australia, Peru, Africa, China, the South Pacific, and the Americas.
