			Glen Reynolds is the Director of The Royal Society South East Asia Rainforest Research Programme (SEARRP). Glen started working for SEARRP in 2000. His PhD (from Imperial) was based at Danum Valley and focussed on forest restoration by enrichment planting. He has subsequently collaborated on several research projects, particularly in the fields of forest management, forest rehabilitation and conservation planning. Glen is a Research Fellow of the Department of Geography, University of Swansea and an Honorary Research Fellow of the NERC Centre for Population Biology, Imperial College.Based mostly in Sabah, his main tasks are to direct and manage SEARRP including its staff, facilities and major projects at Danum Valley, provide advice to scientists when planning their work, liaise with SEARRP’s Malaysian partners and to promote SEARRP within Malaysia and the wider region.

			Philippe Saner (1978) holds a Masters in biology and a PhD in environmental sciences. He is a PostDoc in the research group Biodiversity & Ecosystems of the Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of Zurich. His dissertation is on the importance of carbon storage and ecosystem functioning in tropical forests. He is co-founder of the German based NGO Rhino and Forest Fund, which combines expertise on conservation and habitat restoration: Sabah Rhino Project. He is a partner at Binais Ltd Services, with a special focus on Environmental Services. Philippe writes blogs about combining biology and environmental perspectives with economy.

			Christopher Philipson carried out his undergraduate studies in the University of Albedeen. He completed his PhD in the Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Sudies at the University of Zurich and is currently a post doctoral resercher in the institue. His predominant area of research takes place in Malaysian Borneo where he studies the growth and survival of Dipterocarpaceae seedlings and trees with a view to improved management of degraded forest systems.

			Micheal O'Brien carried out his bachalor studies in the College of natural resources, University of California. He then obtained his masters from the Department of Environmental and Forest Biology, State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry. He is currently a Ph.D. student, Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies, University of Zurich. His research focuses on the mechanisms contributing to seedling establishment and recruitment within forest communities. Where he takes a multi-scale approach by examining both plant response to abiotic stress and biological interactions as well as assessing the effects of those abiotic and biotic mechanisms on forest communities. His current work focuses on the role of drought in shaping the aseasonal tropical forests of Borneo, Malaysia. Email: Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt!

			Dzaeman Dzulkifli studied Zoology at Queen Mary, University of London during his undergraduate studies. He later on did his masters and now PhD in Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies, University of Zurich. His research interest lies in the field of tropical forest restoration. his current study is currently based in this experment where he examines the initial impacts of the attempts to restore biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in logged forest trough enrichment planting and alternative silvicultural practices (climber cutting/liberation thinning) on the dominant tree species, the dipterocarp family and arthropod community in these forests. He is currently involved in running the Earthwatch Borneo programme where volunteers assists him and the team in borneo to carry out reserch in this field site.
