I was wondering about scientists, raised and educated in the Western developed world, who establish their reputation and become based in the developing world. Examples would be Birute Galdikas among the Orangutans, or, better yet, Daniel Janzen and his work with the biodiversity of Costa Rica. Neither of these were originally from the countries where they are now based and do their important work. How does one go about becoming established in developing countries, such that one would actually be based there and not in the Western developed world?
