Welcome to Data Salvaje. Over the coming months I intend to share in this space the various happenings that occur while I undertake research concerning the ecology of the Bofedales, that is the alpine peatlands of the Andes. I have little idea what these happenings may be. This blog is my first and therefore an experimental space. All I can say is that I hope to populate it with the dreams and realities, loves and hates, people that I meet, stories I learn, various pictures, spelling mistakes, poor grammer and whatever else takes my fancy. I hope you enjoy it, or that you dont. Id like to thank my supervisors Jamie and Damien, the people from the faculty of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Tasmania, my family and friends, and the indigenous people who have cared for and sculpted the alpine environment of the Andes for which im headed. Without your contributions, this moment would not be possible. Stay tuned, it has begun.
