Canopymeg was part of the Radeau des Cimes expeditions, whereby some 50 international canopy scientists partner and utilize hot air balloons and a canopy raft to study the treetops. In 1991, Dr. Lowman worked in the canopies of the lowland tropical rain forests of Cameroon, Africa, studying herbivory and working afterwards on conservation iniatitives for some of the Pygmy villages with African botanist-partners.
