Image above shows my dear friend Thibault Ledecq in a forest outside of the village of Ban Sopphuane in Bolikhamxay Province, Laos. Thibault managed the WWF rattan project in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam for six years, facilitated the collabotation between NYBG and WWF, and was the motive force behind the rattan book (see Finally, It's A Book). Thank you, Thibault.
