We've just received confirmation from Katie Yewdall, project coordinator for one of Blue Venture's projects, which is taking place on Tioman Island. By pure chance we stumbled across the Blue Ventures website and saw that they would be running their scientific programme/projects the same time myself and Steve are out there... so naturally we got in touch and it has now been finalised with Katie that we will be aiming to do some basic documentation of the plants/flowers/leaves existing on the face of the Dragon's Horns itself.
We will be taking pictures of what we come across, as well as collecting some small samples for them - these will then be cross-checked with their existing database to see if we come up with anything new. Who knows, maybe we might find something worthwhile for them? Regardless, it will be great to help them out and contribute to their body of knowledge concerning the species on Tioman Island and the Dragon's Horns itself.
Please check out Blue Venture's website http://www.blueventures.org/ or http://www.blueventures.org/malaysia-expeditions for more specific information on what they are planning to do.
