Apparently, our sister organization in Latin America was a hit! Read about the latest environmental history conference in Rio de Janeiro on ICEHO's website. (Rumor has it we will also write a report about the latest conference in Uppsala.)

Latin America's regional environmental history conference, SOLCHA, took place in July this year in lovely Rio de Janeiro. Read the report by ICEHO President Claudia Leal on our website! And take note: in 2027, SOLCHA will take place in Mendoza, Argentina.

My 2nd day in Cairo, but the 1st with the Landscape Research Group tour that I’ll be joining for 5 days.

Our first stop was the Mazhar Botanic garden in Giza mazharbotanicgarden.com/about
It has both Egyptian plants & foreign ones that work in the climate.
