About this event

Dr Rosa Vásquez Espinoza, a Peruvian chemical biologist and National Geographic Explorer of Andean-Amazonian heritage, bridges cutting-edge science and indigenous knowledge to protect Amazonian biodiversity, inspired by her grandmother’s wisdom as a healer.

Founder of Amazon Research Internacional (ARI), she partners with native communities to reveal the rainforest’s untapped biodiversity, from stingless bees to boiling river microbes, and advocates for global conservation through science and storytelling.

Featured in The New York Times, Rosa is the International Ashaninka Ambassador, a United Nations Harmony with Nature Scientist and was named one of the “50 people changing the world” by The Explorers Club.

Join Dr Rosa on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the world's most biodiverse rainforest. In this captivating talk, Rosa will transport you to the lush Amazon, sharing enthralling stories of her adventures saving the Amazonian Stingless Bee and her indigenous upbringing amidst the tropical wonders. Through a unique blend of scientific insights and personal experiences, you'll be inspired to forge a profound connection with nature, explore the intricate web of ecosystems, and embark on a sustainable path. Rosa will also share a reading from her debut book, The Spirit of the Rainforest, recently published. After the talk, there will be a Q&A and books will be available for purchase and signing.

Find out more about Rosa on her personal website, institutional website and on her socials (Instagram and LinkedIn).

Scientific Exploration Society (SES) is a British Charity (No 267410) dedicated to the exploration and conservation of the planet. It was founded in 1969 by Colonel John Blashford-Snell CBE and colleagues and since then has engaged in more than 200 expeditions in remote parts of the world. Many thousands of people have participated in these expeditions, not least those of Operations Drake and Raleigh, supported by the then Prince of Wales, which engaged young people from many countries in life-changing exploration, citizen science, and adventure.

SES today continues its work to promote exploration and to act as a portal to the world of expeditions involved in climate change, environmental protection, and conservation. Its membership is a unique community, including many famous explorers, dedicated to the challenges and satisfactions of exploration.

SES supports and promotes expeditions through funding, mentoring, training, and endorsement. In the process, it collaborates with under-resourced communities around the globe, seeking sustainable solutions and highlighting the challenges faced by our wider community.

Members and friends enjoy charity events and regular Explorer Talks and are also given opportunities to go on exciting SES Endorsed scientific expeditions.

SES has a dedicated Advisory Board consisting of famous explorers and naturalists including Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Dr Jane Goodall, Rosie Stancer, Pen Hadow, Bear Grylls, Mark Beaumont, Tim Peake, Steve Backshall, Vanessa O’Brien, and Levison Wood. Without its support, and that of its generous benefactors, members, trustees, volunteers, and part-time staff, SES would not achieve all that it does.
