SES Scientific Explorer Annual Review 2020.Pdf SCIENTIFIC EXPLORER Dr Jane Goodall, Annual Review 2020 SES Lifetime Achievement 2020 (photo by Vincent Calmel) Welcome Scientific Exploration Society (SES) is a UK-based charity (No 267410) that was founded in 1969 by Colonel John Blashford-Snell and colleagues. It is the longest-running scientific exploration organisation in the world. Each year through its Explorer Awards programme, SES provides grants to individuals leading scientific expeditions that focus on discovery, research, and conservation in remote parts of the world, offering knowledge, education, and community aid. Members and friends enjoy charity events and regular Explorer Talks, and are also given opportunities to join exciting scientific expeditions. SES has an excellent Honorary Advisory Board consisting of famous explorers and naturalists including Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Dr Jane Goodall, Rosie Stancer, Pen Hadow, Bear Grylls, Mark Beaumont, Tim Peake, Steve Backshall, Vanessa O’Brien, and Levison Wood. Without its support, and that of its generous benefactors, members, trustees, volunteers, and part-time staff, SES would not achieve all that it does.

Thank you for your support. 2020 has been a difficult year for many people, businesses and charities but with the hard work, dedication and ingenuity of the Team, led by our CEO Henrietta Thorpe, we have continued to deliver high quality events, activities and services. The annual Explorer Awards presentation evening, brilliantly hosted online by our young Explorer Award winner Liv Grant, was a highlight that reached over 30,000 people, far more than what would have been possible in a West End venue. Likewise, our monthly virtual Explorer Talks continue to be well received by a Neil Laughton dedicated following. Chairman of Trustees [email protected] I am delighted to have been able to welcome some new and younger members onto Council this last year who will, I’m sure, make valuable contributions to the strategic, operational and governance of the Society in the years to come. And it is wonderful to see so many members of the Honorary Advisory Board, inspired by the work of its Chair Peter Felix, getting involved in helping further the aims and aspirations of our great organisation. These are and remain my priorities in the next three years – to increase the awareness and reach of SES around the 4 Flying the Flag SES Explorer of the Year 2018 Vanessa O’Brien, Gough Explorers 2019 Merlin Hetherington and Challenger Deep 2020 (photo by Enrique Alvarez) team-mate Alex McMaster (Arclight Tandem Africa) Gough Explorer 2020 Alegra Ally (The 2020 Passage) Neville Shulman Explorer 2020 Amy Hong (Gishwati-Mukura: The Emerging National Park) Neville Shulman Explorer 2018 Eilidh Munro (Voices on the Road) SES Explorer Lucy Shepherd (Amazon 2020) Elodie Sandford Explorer 2019 Catherine Kim (Tara Bandu in Timor-Leste) Rivers Foundation Explorer 2019 Charlotte Austwick (Voices of the Maya) SCIENTIFIC EXPLORER > 2020 Magazine 5 Explorer Award Winners 2020 Award: Sir Charles Blois Explorer Award for Science & Adventure Winner: EMMA MILLER Expedition: Wellbeing and Resilience on the Himalaya Trail An Award of £5,000 and the exclusive title ‘Sir Charles Blois Explorer 2020’ kindly supported by Sir Charles Blois Bt Emma is a Wellbeing Explorer and Specialist from Northern Ireland.

He has led research expeditions in search of the world’s most endangered species since he was 19, including efforts to photograph the critically endangered vaquita porpoise, Earth’s rarest marine mammal. Recently he has led wildlife filming expeditions, including for the BBC’s Planet Earth 2, to all corners of the globe. Toby’s expedition is to photograph the critically endangered Javan rhino, the rarest large mammal on the planet, and thereby help protect it from extinction. Travelling through the remote wilderness of Ujung Kulon (Java, Indonesia) by canoe, he aims to perform photo-identification of individual rhinos, enabling more to be learnt about this near-mythical species and inform its conservation.

  • Collaborative Management Models in Africa
    Collaborative Management Models in Africa Peter Lindsey Mujon Baghai Introduction to the context behind the development of and rationale for CMPs in Africa Africa’s PAs represent potentially priceless assets due to the environmental services they provide and for their potential economic value via tourism However, the resources allocated for management of PAs are far below what is needed in most countries to unlock their potential A study in progress indicates that of 22 countries assessed, half have average PA management budgets of <10% of what is needed for effective management (Lindsey et al. in prep) This means that many countries will lose their wildlife assets before ever really being able to benefit from them So why is there such under-investment? Two big reasons - a) competing needs and overall budget shortages; b) a high burden of PAs relative to wealth However, in some cases underinvestment may be due to: ● Misconceptions that PAs can pay for themselves on a park level ● Lack of appreciation among policy makers that PAs need investment to yield economic dividends This mistake has grave consequences… This means that in most countries, PA networks are not close to delivering their potential: • Economic value • Social value • Ecological value Africa’s PAs are under growing pressure from an array of threats Ed Sayer ProtectedInsights areas fromare becoming recent rapidly research depleted in many areas There is a case for elevated support for Africa’s PA network from African governments But also a case for greater investment from

  • African Parks 2 African Parks
    African Parks 2 African Parks African Parks is a non-profit conservation organisation that takes on the total responsibility for the rehabilitation and long-term management of national parks in partnership with governments and local communities. By adopting a business approach to conservation, supported by donor funding, we aim to rehabilitate each park making them ecologically, socially and financially sustainable in the long-term. Founded in 2000, African Parks currently has 15 parks under management in nine countries – Benin, Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda and Zambia. More than 10.5 million hectares are under our protection. We also maintain a strong focus on economic development and poverty alleviation in neighbouring communities, ensuring that they benefit from the park’s existence. Our goal is to manage 20 parks by 2020, and because of the geographic spread and representation of different ecosystems, this will be the largest and the most ecologically diverse portfolio of parks under management by any one organisation across Africa. Black lechwe in Bangweulu Wetlands in Zambia © Lorenz Fischer The Challenge The world’s wild and functioning ecosystems are fundamental to the survival of both people and wildlife. We are in the midst of a global conservation crisis resulting in the catastrophic loss of wildlife and wild places. Protected areas are facing a critical period where the number of well-managed parks is fast declining, and many are simply ‘paper parks’ – they exist on maps but in reality have disappeared. The driving forces of this conservation crisis is the human demand for: 1.

  • Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’S Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City
    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’s Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 GENTLEMEN’S CLUBS IN LONDON Nell Benjamin describes her fictional Explorers Club in the opening stage directions of the play: We are in the bar of the Explorers club. It is decorated in high Victorian style, with dark woods, leather chairs, and weird souvenirs from various expeditions like snowshoes, African masks, and hideous bits of taxidermy. There is a sofa, a bar, and several cushy club chairs. A stair leads up to club bedrooms. Pictured above is the bar at the Savile Club in London, which is a traditional gentlemen’s club founded in 1868 and located at 69 Brook Street in Mayfair. Most of the gentlemen’s clubs in existence in London in 1879, the time of the play, had been established earlier, and were clustered together closer to the heart of the city. Clubs in the Pall Mall area were: The Athenaeum, est. 1824; The Travellers Club, est. 1819; The (original) Reform Club, 1832; The Army and Navy Club, 1837; Guard’s Club, 1810; United University Club, est. 1821, which became the Oxford and Cambridge Club in 1830; and the Reform Club (second location), est. 1836. Clubs on St. James Street were: Whites, est. 1693; Brooks, est. 1762; Boodles, est. 1762; The Carlton Club, 1832; Pratt’s, est. 1857; and Arthur’s, est. 1827. Clubs in St. James Square were: The East India Club, est. 1849 and Pratt’s, est. 1857.
