    There is a special charm to journeys undertaken before daybreak in hot lands: the air is soft and cool and the coming of dawn reveals a landscape fresh from the night dew. – Aung San Suu Kyi, Letters from Burma (1995-1996)

    'The landscape of the tropics is being viewed from a fresh tropical lens. This year, the United Nations declared 29 June the ‘International Day of the Tropics’ – a day dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness of the tropical regions of the world. The date is the anniversary of the launch of the inaugural State of the Tropics 2014 report by Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, the first major output of the State of the Tropics project which draws on the expertise of leading tropical institutions from around the world. The ‘International Day of the Tropics’ testifies to the growing awareness of the significance of the tropics for the entire globe.' (From Introduction, 1)
