Dr. Sang Putu Kaler Surata--of Mahasaraswati University in Indonesia--is devoting his PEER Science project to train the country's future teachers in education for sustainable development. His group is creating course materials to teach students about the agro-ecology of Bali, with an emphasis on subaks, community-level religious institutions that manage irrigation water. The project involves close collaboration with University of Arizona scientist John Stephen Lansing, who studies subaks and the risks they face.
