General Meeting: Tuesday, April 10, 2012
Speaker: Roger Mustalish
Topic: “Living on the Edge: Orchid
Conservation in Amazonia”
Dr. Roger Mustalish is President of the Amazon Center for Environmental EducaƟon
and Research (ACEER). He has led more than 70 expediƟons and workshops in the Amazon rainforest of Peru. Dr. Mustalish earned an A.B. in biology from the University of
Pennsylvania, a masters in zoology from Michigan State, and a master of public health
and Ph.D. in environmental health from the University of Minnesota. He just received a
$309,000 grant from the Blue Moon Fund to conduct a major ecosystem assessment in
the cloud forest and rainforest of Peru. Dr. Mustalish recently concluded a 34 year career at West Chester University, where he taught courses in environmental science and
integraƟve health, served as dean of health sciences and chairperson of the department of health.
The mission of the ACEER FoundaƟon is to promote conservaƟon of the Peruvian Amazon by fostering awareness, understanding, acƟon, and transformaƟon. This is achieved by iniƟaƟng environmental educaƟon programs, supporƟng basic
and applied research, and protecƟng unique tracts of land.
ACEER has been a dynamic force for rainforest conservaƟon
for over 20 years. We were the rst in the Western Hemisphere to pioneer the scienƟc applicaƟons of Canopy Walkway systems; scienƟsts have discovered new plant and animal
species at ACEER-supported faciliƟes; and new medicines
have been discovered at our ethnobotanical gardens. Today
we conƟnue to oīer life transforming, experienƟal learning
opportuniƟes to a local and global audience. ACEER has
touched the lives of more than 1 million people worldwide.

CongratulaƟonsandthanks——
The 2012 SEPOS Show at Longwood Gardens was a
tremendous success for the Delaware Orchid Society.
Not only did we earn a First Place Blue Ribbon for our
display and 22 ribbon awards for individual plants, we
also had a great Ɵme planning, construcƟng, creaƟng,
and tearing down our exhibit. More importantly,
about 1/4 of our membership contributed in some
way to this success. The exhibit went together so
smoothly that we actually forgot to break for lunch.
Everyone was so excited about our Blue Ribbon that
there is already a commiƩee in place for next year
and murmurings about parƟcipaƟng in other shows.
Don’t forget to submit your plant list by April 11
(or sooner) to Duane for the April 14 DOS AucƟon. See form elsewhere in the newsleƩer.
Below is a list of (I hope) everyone who parƟcipated
in set-up and tear down, as well as contributed
plants:
Dave Emerson, Janet Maguire, Steve Chang, Pam
Downs, Adrian Ross, Olivia Landis, Sheryl Anzyk,
Duane and Judy Erdmann, Lynn Fuller, Vera Lee and
Mali Rao, Bea and Sol Fenick, Lori Weaver, Janet Bernhardt, Harry Kutch, Dave Nickey, Barry Wolstenholme
and as well as DOS future members Isaac Landis, Kim
Bowman and Emma Creech.
I thank you all and apologize if I have leŌ anyone unmenƟoned.
