Margaret D. Lowman, Ph.D
Author, Adventurer, Educator, Tropical Rain Forest Canopy Biologist

Dr. Lowman's latest book, Life in the Treetops, received a cover review in the New York Times Sunday Book Review.  It has been nominated for the Christopher Award, the New Yorker Authors Debut Award, and the John Burroughs Medal for Natural History literature.

Meg has developed an expertise for the use of different canopy techniques, including ropes, walkways, hot air balloons, construction cranes, and combinations of these methods.  She frequently speaks about her jungle adventures and about rain forest conservation to educational groups, ranging from elementary classes to corporate executives to international conferences.  She continues to travel worldwide to "map" the canopy for biodiversity, and to work on conservation.  She received a Pew Fellow nomination (1993), the Margaret Douglas Medal for Achievement in Conservation Education from the Garden Club of America (1999), election to Leadership Florida (1997), and is a fellow of the Explorers Club.
