Stewart McPherson is a geographer at Durham University and has been fascinated by the natural world from an early age. His scientific interests concern the diversity of life and the ability of organisms to survive under extreme conditions. Following expeditions to South America and South East Asia, he has published two reference books examining carnivorous plants and life on the summits of remote, mountain-plateaus in the heart of South America's rainforest. He studied at Yale University for one year as a Rotary Ambassadorial scholar and has held over 20 presentations documenting his research. His FameLab topics included survival strategies of plants living in the most extreme environments on Earth.
