U of Costa Rica Rain Forest Study

	The University of Costa Rica is now offering a special section of 
their bioenvironmental science courses uniquely designed to suit the needs 
of English speaking students.  This three month semester course of study 
will include Tropical Ecology (4 hours), Natural History of Costa Rica (4 
hours), Biological Diversity \ Conservation (4 hours) and Spanish (4 
hours).  Together with an extensive calendar of field study events, this 
program will provide students with a broad understanding and hands on 
perspective of the rain forest.  This internationally acclaimed and 
accredited university is uniquely qualified to provide the finest level of 
instruction in this academic field.  The proximal access to Costa Rica’s 
full spectrum of biodiversity together with the university’s high standard 
of instruction now provide English speaking students with an unprecedented 
opportunity to fully understand the nature of the world’s tropical rain 
forests.

	All who are interested should contact World Class Adventures in 
Education, 1300 Post Oak Blvd. Suite 1750, Houston, Texas 77056.  Our

Hi, my name is Ron Foster.  I am a college student at DMACC and I am
looking for field research information on rainforests.  If there is any
information you can give me on the destruction of the rainforest or if you
can point out to me someone I can contact I will be very appreciative.

Sincerely,
Ron Foster

Hello everyone...
This is my first post/reply...hopefully THIS is readable....
anywayz...I noticed the question regarding the "best" colored
light for photosynthesis.  Since the product of photosynthesis 
is sugars....used for storage and growth and...seedlings use most
of it's energy for growth...why not measure growth rate...either
height or biomass of new seedling grown in different wavelength
light for a few weeks?...Sorry if my reply is ignorant to previous 
postings (I only have postings for 4/16 to 4/18).  Hope this is 
a bit of help...

Dear Ron,
There are two great websites that will give you more info 
than you'll ever need.

GAIA Forest Archives: Has a HUGE archive of rainforest 
related information including preservation info and rates 
of destruction. Their website is at:

http://forests.lic.wisc.edu/forests/gaia.html

Also check into the Rainforest Action Network who has the 
same type of info and alot more on the rainforests in 
general:
http://www.ran.org/

The GAIA url above may be outdated as I think they switched 
servers.  RAN does hava a hyperlink to GAIA on their page 
if this is the case.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Leslie Taylor
