Text Only FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dale Crowell August 17,2001 Dale.Crowell@mail.house.gov SERRANO WORKS TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR LOCAL PROGRAM TOPROTECT PAPAU NEW GUINEA’S RAIN FOREST The program is funded by the Research and Conservation Foundation (RCF). RCF is a non-profit organization created by WCS. WCS supports traditional methods of organic agriculture such as: coffee grown in the shade, coffee that is hand-picked, and beans which are dried in the sun. By encouraging local farmers to practice such conservationist farming techniques, RCF in turn stimulates a greater cause for dedication to the protection and preservation of the remarkable tropical forests. The rain forest of Papua New Guinea provides a home for diverse flora and fauna, including one of the world’s most stunning groups of birds of paradise, as well as tree kangaroos and a variety of other birds and marsupials. Congressman Serrano said, “The Wildlife Conservation Society in the Bronx has a strong reputation for programs promoting environmental awareness and conservation efforts. Their efforts to promote organic agriculture in the world’s tropical forests continue to strengthen that reputation.” Serrano added, “I am glad to share this environmentally-friendly coffee with my colleagues from New York. I know when they try it they will agree that you can still enjoy your daily coffee and be environmentally conscious at the same time.” Congressman Engel said, “It is wonderful that the Wildlife Conservation Society in the Bronx has sponsored this program to protect the rain forest and benefit the local economy of Papua New Guinea.” He continued, “The rain forest of Papua New Guinea is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, which is why it is so important to protect. This is just one more positive aspect of the Bronx that all Bronxites can be proud of. I know all of my colleagues will enjoy this coffee not only because it is good, but because of how it was grown.”

Denuncias Víctimas Agenda Artículos ... Videos ARTICULOS Domestic Violence Dateline: 01/08/98 Violence against woman goes beyond all cultural, economic, political and religious backgrounds. The most dramatic form of violence against women is spousal abuse. Some studies have shown that in many countries, one quarter to more than half of women report having been physically or psychological abused by their partners (Heise, 1994). "In a study of 80 battered women in San José, Costa Rica, 49 per cent reported being beaten during pregnancy. In Papau New Guinea, 67 per cent of rural women and 56 per cent of urban women have been victims of spousal abuse, according to a national survey conducted by the Papua New Guinea Law Reform Commission. In Bangladesh, the killing of women by their husbands account for 50 per cent of all murders." (The advancement of women: note speakers, UN publication. 1995) One of the main contributing factor of violence against women is the differences between the genders due to the fact that many societies approve the "disciplining" of wives and usually ignore incidents of domestic violence.

International property developers cause havoc in Athens Athens was put under a state of emergency in August when forest fires swept through the last remaining woodland in the area destroying houses and cars, polluting the streets of what is already Europe's most polluted city and causing residents to flea. The Government have alleged that the fires have been started by arsonists working for property developers. Once the land has been cleared of wood, the property developers believe that the government would be more conducive to letting them developing the land. Monsanto and Novartis in trouble as new genetic technology proven defective Dr. Allison Snow of Ohio State University in the USA, has recently discovered that herbicide resistant genes can spread from crops to weeds - creating herbicide resistant super weeds. The new findings are a blow to the multinationals Monsanto and Novartis who have invested billions of pounds in genetic engineering. Monsanto have created a plant which is resistant to a herbicide which kills all other plants dead - this allows a farmer growing the genetically modified crop to kill all weeds dead with just one herbicide. However, the new research presented by Dr. Allison Snow has shown the theoretical simple mindedness of Monsanto's approach. Indonesia attacks 200 at pro-independence protest The Indonesian government has recently been implicated in the disappearance of 31 natives from Irian Jaya - one half of the island that is shared with Papau New Guinea. According to reports in the Guardian, the Indonesian army attacked a 200 strong pro-independence demonstration in early July after the protestors had refused to take down a flag of independence. Irian Jaya was illegally annexed by Indonesia in 1969 after they sent soldiers to infiltrate what was previously a Dutch owned colony.

Compuserve: 105162,605 VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Some 100 youth met here November 7-11 to discuss what the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) - an 18-country trade forum that will hold a summit here November 19-24 - means for youth and working people around the world. The APEC Youth Forum was aimed at students and activists aged 16-19 interested in finding out more about APEC. Most came from across Canada, but around 15 came from other countries that participate in APEC, including Chile, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papau New Guinea, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. The forum focused on jobs, education, and the environment. The youth meeting was part of the broader APEC People's Summit, a series of forums and workshops running throughout November in Vancouver. The People's Summit, organized by groups such as the Canadian Labor Congress and nongovernment organizations, is among the many conferences, protests, and other actions responding to the APEC summit. At that meeting, government officials and business representatives from the region will negotiate the deepening of exploitative trade relations between imperialist nations of the United States, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand on the one hand and the region's semicolonial countries on the other.

Her present company helps mid-size companies and start-ups figure out how to restart growth after initial setbacks. The locals were seemingly unimpressed by Kathryn?s Harvard MBA, Masters degree in Operations Research, and her background in high-tech marketing - especially when they caught her pulling up corn seedlings by accident when she was supposed to be weeding her garden or falling down the muddy mountain paths. Kathryn and her husband worked on a variety of projects mostly to help villagers earn more money. They taught a lot of basic math. Since skills were so poor, you could make money by buying carrots at the market because the seller might give you more back in change than you gave them in bills. They taught people how to repair sewing machines and build cement water tanks. They helped improve coffee yields and introduce higher margin crops.

About CR Programmes Accord Angola ... Search Project development and other activities Displaced people at an IDP camp, Angola. Source: Eleanor Curtis Yet as CR becomes more established, the number of requests or proposals for partnership increases. To the best of our ability we try to refer those requests to other organizations that might be of assistance and to otherwise help those who turn to us. Now that many core areas of work are consolidated, we will attempt to become more strategic in our future growth and development. The main project development activities during the year 2000 concerned Angola, the Balkans and Somalia. In Angola, the partnership with ADRA (Action for Rural Development and the Environment) finally bore fruit. Their project on civic and human rights education in Luanda and four provinces was partly funded and was re-launched in January 2001 - in partnership with CR and the Netherlands Institute for Southern Africa (NIZA). Prospects for support to the peacebuilding project initiated by Development Workshop, the Forum of Angolan NGOs and major church organizations will be taken up in 2001, and will focus on training assistance and training materials. Direct engagement with the Balkans is new for CR. It flowed from discussions and agreements with other organizations within the Committee for Conflict Transformation Support (CCTS). Intensive planning and fundraising efforts resulted in an ambitious programme of work with young people and groups in Albania, Kosova/o, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia - as described elsewhere in this report.

Iwokrama Editorial Stabroek News November 27, 2003 Related Links: Articles on Iwokrama Letters Menu Archival Menu The official opening last Saturday of the 154 metre long Iwokrama Canopy Walkway, consisting of four aluminium platforms and five suspension bridges, the first of its kind in the Caribbean and the Guiana Shield, is a welcome development in this project which started with an offer to provide land for scientific research by President Hoyte at the Common-wealth Heads of Government meeting in Malaysia in 1989. The Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development, now managed by acting Director General Dr Graham Watkins, has found it increasingly difficult to attract donor funds and has been trying to earn money by attracting tourists. It has been hard pressed financially for some time and has taken economy measures. The walkway was built with funds from the Canadian International Development Agency and from a Canadian company and will be managed by a consortium comprised of the indigenous communities of Surama in the North Rupununi and Rockview Lodge of Annai also in the North Rupununi, tour operator Wilderness Explorers and the Centre itself. The walkway will be an attraction for both tourists and researchers. The Centre's mission is to promote the conservation and the sustainable and equitable use of tropical rainforests in a manner that leads to lasting ecological, economic and social benefits for Guyanese and the world by undertaking research, training, and the development and dissemination of technologies. In his foreword to the Summary Report for 1998-2002 Dr Watkins set the scene:
