Andrea Höing (Germany)
Andrea is as a Research Fellow at the University of Passau Chair of Comparative Development and Cultural Studies, South-East-Asia. She has clocked extensive experience working in Indonesian rainforests. Starting in 2006 she worked for OUTROP over several years in Sabangau. Andrea conducted her internship for the Master course "International Nature Conservation" on endemic primates on Siberut island, Mentawai, Sumatra, Indonesia. Andreas interest in human-nature relations grew over those years. She chose to conduct an "Assessment of Social and Ecological Threats as Perceived by Dayaks" for her thesis research with BRINCC 2011. Before BRINCC 2011 she has been on several smaller expeditions in the Sebangau Peatswamp Forests. |

Peter R. Houlihan (USA)
Peter studies behavioral ecology, speciation and conservation of tropical organisms. Throughout the years, Peter has studied a variety of taxa, including primate behavior in Southeast Asia, coral reef and savannah community ecology in East Africa, and Lepidoptera biogeography and evolution throughout Latin America. On Borneo, Peter has worked with the Orangutan Tropical Peatland Project (OuTrop) for years on research concerning butterfly community ecology in the Sabangau forest. Peter recently wrote a guide to the butterflies of the Sabangau forest, while also continuing to advise butterfly studies with OuTrop. He is also leading a large-scale collaborative project to revise A Field Guide to the Mammals of Borneo. Peter also works in the states of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo, where his research was recently filmed as part of "David Attenborough's Conquest of the Skies 3D".
