The rocky terrain and thorny vegetation where some of the world’s most critically endangered iguanas roam can be daunting to navigate, even for the most seasoned scientific researchers. Just try catching one without scraping your knee, Earlham College’s John Iverson says.

He would know. For the last 38 years, he has been studying West Indian Rock Iguanas with students on the remote islands of The Bahamas every May in what is the longest running, continuous study of iguanas in the world. And with their help, the reptiles are slowly fighting off extinction.

On this episode of the Earlham College Podcast, we chat with Tenzin Damchoe, a Tibetan Buddhist monk from Dharamsala, India. Damchoe is teaching a popular course on Buddhism and Science at Earlham this semester.

In recent years, Earlham has developed a relationship with the community of Dharamsala through a Tibetan Studies program located at Sarah College. The program culminates with a visit with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people.

Daniel Kibet’s ’19 path to Earlham started at a primary school in Kenya where classroom space was scarce and bathrooms were limited, unsanitary and broken. Eight years later, Kibet has a chance to improve the situation for his former school. He is the latest Earlhamite to be awarded $10,000 in funding to lead a summer peace prize. With funding from Earlham, Kibet will work with local builders to construct a simple latrine system and a hand-washing station while promoting health education, classes that are not actively offered at the 400-student school. The latrine system, with proper maintenance, can last for 20 years.
