Chris Golden, a National Geographic 2014 Emerging Explorer, studies the rich relationship people have with the rain forest in Madagascar and how it affects their lives and health.

His team also plans to distribute an ethnomedicine "recipe" book that will preserve vital local knowledge about indigenous plant treatments.
