Profile
Henrik Balslev worked in Latin America and Thailand on pant systematics, ethnobotany, and plant ecology in projects funded by the Danish Research Council, Danida, EU, and Carlsberg Foundation. His project on harvest of wild palms in the Amazon basin involved 24 months field work along the Amazon river. Recent work in Thailand is funded by the Carlsberg Foundation (2 mio €; 2015-2024). He has trained numerous researchers from the third world, parallel to supervising Danish MSc and PhD students.
