Amazonia Voices from the Rainforest

"Amazonia: Voices from the Rainforest" presents the most comprehensive listing of indigenous groups & international organizations battling to save the Amazon's riverforests & the people who live there. By way of introduction, the first third of "Amazonia" describes both the sustainable dwellers & outside exploiters of the rainforests--native Amazonians, forest gatherers, colonists--& explains the devastating impact of foresting, mining, petroleum & hydroelectric development, & cattle ranching on the Amazon basin. Maps, photographs & an "Almanac" of facts & figures are employed. An extensive "action guide" follows, listing 167 South American groups & 82 international organizations & support groups, stating their programs, goals & special needs, plus providing the names, addresses & phone numbers of contacts. Environmentalists, activists, field researchers, travellers, & libraries will find timely "Amazonia" indispensible. Copies may be ordered directly from Rainforest Action Network, 301 Broadway, Ste.
