This Issue: */CO_2 Sequestration (Part 4 of 4) /*and Some Other Good Things

*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP?*

*Assessment and Mapping of Forest Degradation*-Severin Kalonga writes, 
"I am a PhD student at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, doing 
a research on the human impacts to the degradation of miombo woodlands 
in Tanzania. Could you please furnish me related literature on the 
'assessment and mapping forest degradation'? Thank you.'' If you can 
assist, please contact Severin at seve1_04 at yahoo.co.uk 
<mailto:seve1_04 at yahoo.co.uk>.

*CO_2 SEQUESTRATION (Part 4 of 4)/- /*Last summer I was seeking any 
publications on what various countries are doing in regard to carbon 
sequestration activities involving forests. I was particularly 
interested in those that applied to Costa Rica. Here are some sites that 
may be of interest.

Sabal palms disappear from the landscape, what are the implications? 
(ecology, wildlife, hydrology, economic, cultural). We hope this will 
NOT be a "meet, greet, eat, and retreat" type of event so come prepared 
to share information and collaborate with folks from a wide range of 
disciplines. We expect many of the experts to be in the audience, not 
behind the podium!. For more information, see
