ABOUT SANDRA'S WORK
Sandra Lanham, a pilot and conservationist, flies a 1956 Cessna throughout northwestern Mexico, the southwestern United States, and Central America in support of environmental protection efforts. As founder and director of the nonprofit Environmental Flying Services, Lanham fosters cross-border scientific collaborations to protect sensitive habitats in North America. Far more than a skilled pilot, she is also a self-taught naturalist and a keen ecological observer. Through self-funded, environmental campaigns and her numerous collaborations with Mexican and American conservation groups, she has become the center of a network of grassroots conservationists. In a region often characterized by suspicion of the motivations across borders, Lanham’s dedication and diplomacy have earned her the trust of environ-mentalists and government officials alike. She combines this hard-won reputation with aeronautical talents to create a unique flying platform for monitoring the changing ecological conditions over a vast area of desert borderlands and surrounding waters.

BIOGRAPHY
Sandra Lanham received a B.A. (1970) in social psychology from Western Michigan University. Before launching Environmental Flying Services in 1991, she founded and directed the Desert Sanctuary, a progressive, residential-treatment center for troubled children located in southern Arizona.

关于桑德拉的工作
桑德拉-拉纳姆是一名飞行员和保护主义者，他驾驶着1956年的塞斯纳飞机，在墨西哥西北部、美国西南部和中美洲各地飞行，支持环境保护工作。作为非营利性环境飞行服务机构的创始人和主任，兰姆促进了跨境科学合作，以保护北美的敏感栖息地。她不仅是一个熟练的飞行员，也是一个自学成才的自然主义者和敏锐的生态观察者。通过自筹资金的环保运动以及她与墨西哥和美国保护团体的多次合作，她已经成为基层保护主义者网络的中心。在这个经常被怀疑跨界动机的地区，兰姆的奉献精神和外交手段为她赢得了环境学家和政府官员的信任。她将这一来之不易的声誉与航空天赋相结合，创建了一个独特的飞行平台，用于监测沙漠边陲和周边水域广大地区的生态条件变化。

个人简历
桑德拉-兰姆在西密歇根大学获得了社会心理学学士学位（1970年）。在1991年启动环境飞行服务之前，她创建并指导了沙漠避难所，一个位于亚利桑那州南部的进步的问题儿童住院治疗中心。
