Professor Jan Šobotník brings us fresh news from his field campaign - this time from Gabon! Along with his colleagues prof. David Sillam-Dusses a MS.C. Caroline Hoegh-Guldberg, he conducted a fieldwork, and as he puts it, there was plenty to discover. After a few days in the capital city, Libreville—where the team met many interesting people - they explored several forest fragments accessible by taxi from the city. These forests, despite their location, are surprisingly well preserved. Obtaining all the necessary research permits proved to be quite the challenge, but thanks to the team's perseverance - especially prof. David Sillam-Dusses (a professor of ethology from Paris) - they managed to navigate the process successfully. The second part of their stay was spent in Ivindo National Park, near Makokou, at the Ipassa Research Station. There, they learned that the renowned entomologist Pierre-Paul Grassé conducted long-term research at the same station in 1960’s.
