LA SELVA, ECUADOR
La Selva Jungle Lodge in Ecuador, a longtime destination for tourists to the Amazon Basin, has announced the formation of the Neotropical Field Biology Institute. The lodge is located 100 km from the town of Coca on the Napo River in 50,000 acres of protected primary forest. The field institute is headed by Dr. P. J. DeVries, author of Butterflies of Costa Rica, who is now dividing his time between the University of Oregon and La Selva. The institute is actively soliciting field work from qualified biologists and wishes to support long-term field studies. Studies on using butterflies as species indicators have been conducted for two years, as well as research on birds and large mammals in the area's 25 microhabitats.
Because the institute is located within the lodge, which sleeps eight, work is greatly facilitated by the use of La Selva's infrastructure. Indigenous employees may be contracted to help with projects. Interested applicants should design studies which will remain operative by staff at the institute. Anyone interested in conducting field research in the Napo region should fax the Neotropical Field Biology Institute in Ecuador at 011 593 2 567 297.
VITAE CIVILIS
The Vale do Ribeira region nestled in the southeast State of Sao Paulo has a new champion, Vitae Civilis (Institute for Development, Environment, and Peace), a non-governmental, non- profit organization. The name, taken from Latin, means "for the civil society", expresses its goal to serve as a tool for building sustainable societies. The mission of the program is based on the development and promotion of actions which seek to make the protection of cultural and biological diversity compatible with the sustainable development of the Atlantic rainforest. The program seeks to reach this goal in conjunction with local communities, civil society and the government. The process includes obtaining and analyzing traditional knowledge, the generation of technology, and encouragement and activity in the implementation of scientific proposals with a basis in ecological, social, cultural and economic aspects of the legislation.
Through its three-year program, the institute develops activities, research and specific projects such as ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacologial studies of the traditional communities in the Jureia-Itatins Ecological Station and the conservation of the biodiversity of the Atlantic rainforest. Vitae Civilis also participates in activities with various governmental and non- governmental institutions in the management, planning and protection of biological and cultural diversity.

TEACHING FELLOWSHIP
The Center for International Development Research at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina is seeking proposals for two types of activities on the topic of local communities and environmentally sustainable development in Latin America during the spring of 1996. Specifically, a one-semester teaching fellowship and invitations to lead seminars or give lectures related to the above themes are being offered. The activities are part of the Latin American Outreach Project, a three-year program funded by the Tinker Foundation which aims to foster cooperation and intellectual exchange on environmental topics between Latin American institutions and their U.S counterparts.
The recipient of the teaching fellowship will be expected to teach a graduate course at Duke during the spring 1996 semester. Participants in the seminar series will deliver lectures and lead workshops over a two to three day period.
Priority will be given to Latin American applicants. For both activities, proposals should offer fresh, critical thinking on the successes, failures, and lessons to be learned from recent community-based experiences in environmentally sustainable development. Specific topics may examine a particular sector or approach, for example: community-based watershed management, sustainable agriculture, strengthening local institutions and participation, land use and similar issues.
For more information and application forms, write: Dr. Julie Johnson, Box 90237, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708-0237; Fax: (919) 684-2861; E-mail: cidr@pps.duke.edu.
FOREST COVER IN MINDANAO
The Environmental Research Division, Manila Observatory, has been investigating the condition of forest cover in Mindanao, Philippines, and has produced a map which provides various perspectives and analytical approaches to forest cover. Mindanao has suffered a rapid decline in forest cover due to thirty years of extensive timber extraction followed by conversion of residual forest due to rapid population growth. In the 1960s 59% of Mindanao was forests, 54% being primary forest and 5% secondary. For the mid-1970s, the figures were 17% primary, 29% secondary forest and by the mid-1980s, 10% and 18% respectively. Even though greater controls on logging have been in effect over the last five years, Mindanao continues to lose biodiversity due to forest fragmentation and impaired forest regeneration.
Copies of the map are available from the Environmental Research Division, Manila Observatory, Loyola Heights, 1108 Quezon City, P. O. Box 2232, Manila 1062, Philippines. Tel: 924- 1751; Fax: (632) 924-4414.
NEW PUBLICATIONS
The 1995 Plant Conservation Directory is now available from the Center for Plant Conservation. In this recently revised directory, the Center has compiled the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of botanical, conservation, governmental, and scientific personnel and organizations nationwide and by state that may be able to assist with plant conservation efforts. In addition, the directory identifies rare plant laws and rare and endangered plant lists by state.
To order the 1995 Plant Conservation Directory, send
a check, or money order for $18.00, to Center for Plant
Conservation, P.O. Box 299, St. Louis, MO 63166-0299.
Alberta filmmaker Albert Karvonen's latest video, Great Northern Forest, takes viewers inside bear dens and beaver lodges, and portrays the intimate lives of the birds and large animals inhabiting Canada's boreal domain. Organized on a seasonal theme, the film describes fire and ice as the major forces of change within the forest, and then takes viewers through a sequence of wildlife close-ups. The sounds and imagery are engaging and at times totally arresting. The feat of filming such scenes is alone truly spectacular. To order a copy of the 48-minute close-captioned color video ($26.95), contact Karvonen Films Ltd., National Film Board of Canada, Ottawa.

MEETINGS
October 11-13. A symposium to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization, under the auspices of the United Nations, will be held in Quebec City.
Participants will be able to examine case studies and share experiences in an atmosphere that is conducive to devising concrete solutions. The innovative aspect of this meeting lies in the fact that it is bringing business people and representaives of non-governmental organizations together with political figures, scientists and academics, all working in the fields of agriculture, fisheries or forestry.
The symposium's program includes keynote speeches by renowned specialists and workshop discussions where cases drawn from the five continents will be studied in small groups. Three sub-themes will be considered separately: managing natural resources, managing markets, and managing know-how and technology.
The preliminary program provides all the information needed to register for the symposium, the exhibitions which will be presented in conjunction with the symposium, scientific and industrial excursions, and social, cultural and tourism activities.
