As we celebrate our second year of partnership with The Explorers Club, it is inspiring to see that there are so many incredible minds with big ideas to make our world a better place. To be able to support them in their goal to create positive change is an honor," said Rochelle Turner Head of Sustainability, Exodus Adventure Travels. The "Exploration Without Boundaries" grants support people and projects that advance a global understanding of the social and natural world through cultural, scientific and conservation fieldwork. Led by explorers who have taken alternative routes to acquire the skills necessary to conduct their research, the four grant recipients have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of knowledge. Their stories of unwavering determination and insatiable curiosity serve as beacons of inspiration. Further information regarding the ambitions and qualifications of the 2023 recipients is listed below: Amanda Ho Project Goal: This project will map, monitor, conserve, andrestore the extent of seagrass meadows in the Kep Archipelago and Kampot Province in Cambodia. Seagrass restoration has been limited in developing countries, which this project can help remedy. Susmita Lama Project Goal: Sci-stories (Stories and science): Bridging the unequal climate exchanges in the trans-Himalayan region of Nepal by using storytelling as a tool to bring scientific recommendations and indigenous recognition.
