Hi, Lisa! Two of your suggested topics interests me! Allergies &
"alternative medicine" (in fact, I can see that these 2 things could
be combined!).
Helloooooo - anybody else game?

Though I have no information on your "guilt" relating to environmental
issues - I would be interested in your findings on this subject.
Sounds like an interesting subject...

Mandy, did you ever get an answer to your query on this? I would be
very interested in any answers you got; this would be of interest to
me, also.
Thanks,

SUBJECT: Identification of Good Practices
of Watershed/Natural Resource Management
The Evaluation Office (EVO) of the Inter-American Development
Bank has produced a concepts and issues paper and four case studies
as part of a program of watershed management evaluations. Before
completion of the final summary document scheduled for the second
semester of 1996, we are preparing a working paper to analyze
examples of good practices which produce both benefits for low-
income families and positive impacts on natural features within
watersheds. From a perspective that recognizes the interfaces among
waterways, the surrounding landscape and associated human land-
uses, watershed management can provide an important foundation for
natural resource management as a whole.
To enhance the quality of this research and its usefulness for
improved watershed management processes in the future, we would
greatly appreciate your assistance in highlighting successful field
activities that could be considered for inclusion in the repertoire of
Bank-supported projects.
We are particularly interested in learning more about how local
women organize themselves, identify their needs, and make
decisions for sound watershed/natural resource management as they improve
their own livelihoods. Past practices have taught us valuable lessons to be
learned. This working paper goes beyond achieving project targets
and learning lessons. We are examining the positive impacts and
benefits of good practices, then working back to understand how
families and community organizations adopt behaviors conducive to
increased income generation and to proper watershed stewardship.
Sound watershed/natural resource management is the result of suitable
practices which address and coordinate some of the following:
. Diversified and integrated agriculture
. Livestock husbandry and pasture management
. Community forestry
. Pisciculture
. Agroforestry
. Local capabilities for value added processing and
marketing of resources
. Community management and public investments on
private lands (tenure issues)
. Soil conservation (tillage, fertilization, and effects on
downstream water quality)
. Energy conservation and appropriate technologies
. Preservation of fragile and unique ecosystems
. Environmental education and training
. Strengthening of natural resource management
institutions
If your organization supports the involvement of women in watershed/natural
resource management activities or any of these components, we would greatly
appreciate access to published and unpublished materials which describe
particularly successful practices. These may be mailed to the address below.
Otherwise, within the Washington area, we can make arrangements for pickup
at
your office. Kindly also include, for subsequent contact and possible
site inspection, the names of individuals and groups in the field who
collaborate with your watershed management (and related) activities.
Please include addresses, phone and fax numbers, and Internet codes.
If you wish to receive a copy of our Working Paper "Concepts and
Issues in Watershed Management" and, when completed, a copy of
the "Good Practices" report, please include your updated address for
mailing.
We look forward to personal contacts and interviews with you by
February 5 for clarifications and what promises to be useful
exchanges of ideas. Thank you very much for your assistance.
Yours truly,

The key is a basic human principle called respect. It can be cultivated as
part of the culture, but there is no way to teach or demand respect.
Generally, when a person is treated with respect, they respond with respect
as well.

The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) will soon
be launching a major site on the World Wide Web.
A subsection of the WWF site will include a searchable
interdisciplinary database of scientists, faculty,
and experts in environmental fields entitled
'Environmental Scholars' which will help a cross-section
of scholars network and share information. This database will
allow users to search by keyword and locate one another.
If you would like to be included in this database,
we ask that you email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(NOT as a 'reply to sender') with the following information:
Name
Department
College/University/Organization
Address
State
Country
Phone/Fax
Email address(es)
Research areas/Topics of interest
In your message, please use "environmental scholars" as the subject
line, and type each field entry on a separate line. The last
field entry can be up to a paragraph in length,
including, among other information, your area of
specialization, current research topics, educational
background, current or upcoming publications, requests for
assistance/documents from other users, etc. To ensure
inclusion in the launch version of the site, we ask that you
respond as soon as possible. Send all messages to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (do not 'reply to sender').
Please feel free to further distribute this message.
Thank you.
