Extractions: Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the new leftist president-elect of Brazil, has said that the country will respect financial markets and prioritise the fight against hunger. Mr Lula - who received 61% of the vote in the recent elections - pledged fiscal austerity and sustainable growth. However, he also addressed the country's poor, saying his priority is to combat hunger and unemployment. When Mr Lula is inaugurated on 1 January, he will take over Latin America's largest economy, which is burdened by debt and suffering a deep economic crisis. He has also called on the IMF and other international lenders to help Brazil through its crisis and to extend credit lines to Brazilian businesses. Will Brazil's president-elect, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government be able to please the financial markets yet also combat poverty in the country? Can Brazil's new government make a difference? This Talking Point has now closed. Read a selection of your comments.

Ecuador is not a fully federal state but has a devolved system of 21 provinces, including the Galápagos Islands, each administered by an appointed governor. The 1979 constitution provides for a president and a single-chamber national congress, the 77-member chamber of representatives, to which 65 representatives are elected on a provincial basis every two years and 12 nationally for a four-year term. The president is elected by universal suffrage for a four-year, nonrenewable term. Home Find Property Submit Property News ... Terms, conditions and privacy policy, September 2002
Extractions: Equador Halts Food Aid Program due to GM content EFE News Service 18may01 Quito , May 17 - The Ecuadorian government on Thursday suspended a nutritional program that provides food for poor children and mothers sponsored by the United Nation's World Food Program (WFP) due to the possibility that genetically engineered soybeans were among some of the food products' ingredients. Authorities will not suspend the food deliveries, but they will eliminate two nutrition programs aimed at children because of the possibility of genetically engineered soybeans, Radio Quito reported. The government will make up the foot shortfall caused by the suspension of the two plans by handing out other products free of any genetically engineered ingredients. WFP representative in Ecuador Hannah Laufer said that food provided by the two nutritional programs could contain genetically engineered soybeans. These programs were aimed at children, pregnant women and lactating mothers, with the objective of counteracting the malnutrition and infantile growth deficiency prevalent in Ecuador's poor areas. Accion Ecologica, one of Ecuador's most prominent environmental organizations, said that 55 percent of the ingredients used in the State's nutrition programs contain genetically engineered products, especially soybeans.
Extractions: SANGAY NATIONAL PARK Declared a national park by the Ecuadorian government and (along with the Galapagos Islands) a Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983, the 517,725 hectare Sangay National Park is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Ecuador and in the world. Sangay, much the same as its neighbor, Llanganates National Park, is a place of amazing biodiversity and shelters an incredibly high number of endemic species, especially plant species. This spectacular diversity is a direct result of the Park's geographical and climatic extremes. With towering peaks rising up to 5,230 meters above sea level and valleys dipping down into the Amazon Basin as low as 600 meters above sea level, Sangay has microclimate ranging from sub arctic to tropical with average temperatures varying from below freezing to 24 degrees Celsius. The Park is home to eight distinct vegetation zones, ranging from sub artic to tropical lowland forest, with the transition areas between these distinct zones providing habitats for the area's most interesting plant species. Notable fauna includes: tapirs, bears, ocelots, jaguars, otters, humming birds, condors, and deer, many of which are rare and endangered species.
Extractions: In 1996, The Nature Foundation (Fundación Natura) of Ecuador, the largest environmentally concerned entity in the country, began working with monetary support from the World Wildlife Fund - International (WWF) and the Dutch government to survey and develop a plan to promote sustainable natural resource development within Sangay National Park. This study made the group realize that the unprotected area between Sangay and Llanganates National Park, drained by the Pastaza River, if disrupted, would have serious impacts on both parks. In other word, the Pastaza River Valley might well be a natural corridor, an important "biological dispersion zone" connecting the parks and not, as some had previously assumed, a natural barrier to dispersal. The investigation, which was conducted over the course of four years, was carried out using established scientific protocols and indices designed and implemented by qualified scientists and specialists including ecologists, botanists, ornithologists, geneticists, and social scientists. The investigation was principally biological in focus, but extensive studies were also conducted into the social aspects of the plan, as well. Some of the conclusions of the studies are as follows:

Extractions: Update: Debt swap for conservation in Equador Debt swap for conservation in Equador Author: McNeely, J.A. (1988) Source: Sevilla, R.L. (1988). Debt Swap for Conservation : The Ecuadorean Case. Paper presented at Workshop on Economics, IUCN General Assembly, 4-5 February 1988, Costa Rica. Ecuador is a small South American country with extraordinary levels of biological diversity, containing nearly twice as many species of plants and animals as all of North America. To protect this diversity, 15 protected areas have been established, covering about 11 percent of the land area. As with many Latin American countries, Ecuador is suffering from significant external debt; its 1977 debt balance of $1.3 billion had increased to $9.4 billion by 1987, with 60 percent of the amount owed to private international lenders. It is apparent to the lenders that Ecuador - like other Latin American countries - is having great difficulties repaying the debt, and the lending banks have recognized this difficulty by reducing the price of Ecuador's debt by 50 percent in the past six months. Further, the debt crisis has generated austerity measures which are seriously hampering development efforts (including sustainable use management of biological resources). After examining the situation, a small group of Ecuadorian professionals, including the former General Managers of Ecuador's Central Bank and of Citibank-Ecuador, organized a private foundation, "Fundación Natura", to use the debt crisis as an opportunity to attract financial resources to be invested in conservation of biological diversity.

Extractions: Home Articles Links Shop ... News Handy Andes by Dave Ferguson Introduction Bolivia Peru Equador THE HOWS THE WHYS AND THE WHEREFORES First, a few words of warning: The central and northern Andean states can, at times, be difficult places to exist. The challenges are both political and environmental. During the 6-month period in the area I experienced 1 military coup, 3 national transport strikes, the end of Ecuador's currency, and was tear-gassed the day I flew home. During that time I spent just 6-weeks below 2000m and saw 2 volcanoes erupt within a couple of kilometres of where I stood. Such occurrences can be vexing and potentially hazardous so a few words of advice: - If you're planning to spend much time in the region, learn Spanish, it'll make life a LOT easier - Read the papers (aided by the above) to keep abreast of political and volcanic activities. - Acclimatise. French 6a at 3500m is very, very hard work. - Take your time. Don't plan too much and allow lots of contingency time.

Extractions: There is some concern about the scheduling of exams. Normally exams are scheduled a year ahead of time by a committee of faculty and students. Though there are no schedules that will satisfy everyone, there have been some suggestions regarding the scheduling process. Evaluation of the exam schedules by the students is one idea. Another is an extended schedule into the weekends to allow for more study time between tests. If you have any proposals, please tell your reps or exec council members.
