Title: Re: Tropical forest dreams and
nightmares

Dear
Betsy,

I was doing ANOTHER
rant on Jungles but I have had to change it in the draft folder
daily! I was in Fantasyland to a large
extent. Are there not some Jungles still
substantially intact in Countries where the people are benign, not
Gringicidal maybe and allow sensitive samples to be transferred to
Specialist "Arks"?

As many of you are aware, the country of Costa Rica is doing a
much better job than most in protecting their unique
ecosystems. In conjunction with Duke University and others,
they have formed the non-profit OTS, Organization for Tropical
Studies.

Rather than relate all the information here, I'd like to refer
interested parties to their websites:

OTS North American Office:
http://www.ots.duke.edu

or

Las Cruces/Wilson Botanical Gardens, San Vito, Costa Rica:
