We had our first guest on KCSB this morning: Director of UCSB’s Meso American Research Center and the recipient of the 2000 Rolex Award for Enterprise, Dr. Anabel Ford. She has been studying of the ancient city of El Pilar for decades. This historic Maya community is on the border of Belize and Guatemala. Dr. Ford contests, contrary to many of her colleagues, that El Pilar is a model of the sustainable practice of “forest gardening.” She and her team have worked to study, understand and preserve El Pilar. Check it out on this week’s podcast page.
