Hi all,
Some of you know me, most don't, but for the last 18 years in-between supporting Brighton I've been working as a conservation biologist in the Borneo rainforest. As the title says, my charity - the Orangutan Tropical Peatland Trust - has been shortlisted to win an award of £20,000 from the European Outdoor Conservation Association. If we win, we will fund community patrols to stop illegal logging and fight forest-fires, replant natural rainforest and monitor orangutan health and survival in the Sabangau peat-swamp forest. This will make a real difference to my project and to the protection of one of the most important areas of rainforest left in Borneo.
In the past on NSC I've voted variously for people to win comedy awards, to get sent into space or be the new Scunny honey, so this is now my attempt to come cap in hand and win your backing! You can vote via our website here (or direct to the voting page here),and please encourage your friends and colleagues to vote too.
Cheers, I really appreciate your help,
Simon

Although every one of these causes are worthy. Good luck.
