MEDICINAL PLANT RESERVE IN BELIZE
In 1993, a 6,000 acre area of rain forest in Belize was set aside as a reserve, with the aim of ensuring that rare medicinal plants and the threatened traditional Mayan art of healing should flourish. The Terra Nova Rain Forest Reserve, a forest thick with rare medicinal vines and herbs and many different types of animals, will be operated by the recently formed Belize Association of Traditional Healers.
Loss of forest in Belize through logging has already caused some species of medicinal plants to become scarce, but the main threat is that most of Belize's 500 traditional healers are over eighty years old and have few apprentices. Increasing western influence has resulted in young people losing interest in becoming healers.
Terra Nova will be managed by the Healers' Association, which will operate three main programs, the first involving the activities of healers, apprentices and students. Healers will be permitted either to harvest plants themselves, accompanied by a warden who will record the weight and species taken, or to place orders for plants. Healers and guides will use the forest as a living classroom to teach apprentices and other students.
The reserve will also serve as a nursery for propagated plants and as a research laboratory. Dr. Rosita Arvigo, a doctor of naprapathy who has been apprenticed to a healer for ten years, and Dr. Michael J. Balick, director of the New York Botanical Garden's Institute of Economic Botany, are working with the healers to identify useful plants. The reserve will also be used to promote ecological tourism. When visitor facilities have been established, tourists will be invited to participate in nature walks and classes with traditional healers in a forest setting.
WORLD WIDE WEB SERVER
The Australian Environmental Resources Information Network (ERIN) has available a new, improved World Wide Web Server. The server includes information on Australia's environment, such as: weather and climate; terrestrial and inland aquatic landscapes; humans and the environment; state of the environment reporting; and general environmental information. The new features include: links to ERIN's ORACLE database to produce, for example, species distribution maps on request; links between traditional floras and interactive plant distribution maps; modelling of species distributions; as well as links to environmental information systems around the world.

NEOTROPICAL MIGRATORY BIRDS IN MEXICO
As a result of a meeting in November, 1993 at Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico, the governments of Mexico, the United States of America, and Dominion of Canada passed a resolution to protect migratory birds and their habitats. As a result of the decline in populations of migratory birds and the degradation of the environment in all three countries, it was agreed that each government will protect natural habitats to a degree sufficient to protect their biodiversity. This should be a minimum of 12% of each habitat as recommended by the Brundtland Commission by the year 2000. It was also agreed that each government improve communication on social, economic, political and environmental issues to facilitate the maintenance of biodiversity.

PUBLICATIONS NEEDED
Due to the present economic situation in Argentina, the University of Mar del Plata is in need of any reprints, books, journals, or any publications to build a library. All donations will be properly acknowledged by the university. Please send publications to: Oscar Iribarne, Departamento de Biologia, Facultad Ciencias Exactas Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Funes 3250, 7600 Mar del Plata, Argentina.
NEW PUBLICATIONS
The right of indigenous societies to control their access and use of their cultural knowledge is a timely issue among indigenous leaders around the world. This issue has been debated in the United Nations, in the biodiversity and human rights movements, within the pharmaceutical industry, in government and private corporations among the social and applied scientists and ethicists, and most importantly, among indigenous leaders. The Society of Applied Anthropology has published Intellectual Property Rights for Indigenous Peoples, A Sourcebook . The book contains 15 chapters, various appended documents, the names and addresses of organizations and sources related to indigenous intellectual property rights, extensive bibliographies, and an index. The sourcebook offers cases where indigenous groups have asserted intellectual property rights, and also analyses of the legal and political context for these rights. It is intended to be useful to indigenous leaders reviewing their options; advocacy groups for indigenous rights, human rights and biodiversity preservation; policy specialists; and scholars.
The sourcebook is available for $10.25 plus $1.75 shipping
within the U.S. and Canada and $2.75 to other addresses. Payment
by credit card is available. Inquiries and orders should be
addressed to: The Sourcebook, The Society for Applied
Anthropology, P.O. Box 24083, Oklahoma City, OK 73124-0083; Fax:
(405) 843-4863.
A new multimedia computer database that provides general information, and physical, mechanical and woodworking properties for 800+ species of timber and wood composite materials is offered by Tree Talk, Inc., a Vermont-based non-profit educational organization focused on wood and forest issues.
Woods of the World is intended for anyone who works with wood, from the academician, to the businessperson, to the hobbyist. It is the most accessible and complete compilation of wood species data available. Woods of the World includes information on the environmental status of these wood species, making it ideal for architects, builders, manufacturers and others who purchase or specify wood products and need information to identify susbstitutes for species that may be endangered or unavailable.
Woods of the World allows users to access information for up to 85 categories of data, including: common names, uses, color, texture, odor, luster, grain, static blending, compression strength, sawing properties, planing properties, and much more. The database runs on Mac and IBM-compatible computers and costs $250 for both CD-ROM and full floppy diskette versions. A condensed floppy version is also available for $150.
For more information, or to order, call 1-800-858-6230 (in the US and Canada) or (802) 863-6789. Orders can also be faxed to: (802) 863-4344, or mailed to: Tree Talk, P.O. Box 426, Burlington, VT 05402-0426. Demo disks are available upon request.
