Before pressing launch on our Lost Mountain Kickstarter on July 30th, I thought Kickstarter was a thing– a means to an end. One month later, I know it is more– it’s a community nexus and a place for passion and belief. Kickstarter also brought home just how much the Lost Mountain means to me by showing me how much it meant to others.  Thank you all for supporting this project by learning about it, sharing it, backing it and more. Our Kickstarter was an amazing success because of you. We head to Malawi and Mozambique October 28th to climb a 2,000′ granite big wall, discover species

new to science, and start a new integrated conservation area on Mozambique’s second highest mountain.  You can follow along here.
