JAN. 22, 2005 - According to the press report, despite
efforts to control the disease, the number of dengue cases
in the Brazilian state of Acre have increased, mostly due to

estimated 5,395 new cases of the disease were registered in
the state in 2004, whereas in 2003 there were 1,514 cases -
a 256% increase! The towns of Brasileia and Epitaciolandia
(Brazil) and Cobija (Bolivia) agreed to work together in
combating the spread of the disease in the region.

press report, this groundbreaking initiative is an attempt
to reduce the number of researchers sponsored by private
companies (e.g. pharmaceutical companies).

¶7. Paraguay: Unregulated Rice Crop Irrigation Harms Nature
JAN. 24, 2005 - According to the press report, unregulated
irrigation of large rice crops in the region of Caazapa
(province) is slowly drying out the Tebicuary River, the
region's most important natural resource. The report also
points out that the water pumps, which do not have a
protective filter to avoid fish deaths, kill thousands of
fish daily. Locals are concerned with the lack of
intervention by environmental authorities in the matter.

FEB. 05, 2005 - According to Colombia's Ministry of
Agriculture, increasing the country's forestry activities
from 150,000 planted hectares to 3 million hectares over a

forests. Following pressure from environmentalists in the
region, the local government halted felling in the region in
mid 2004 for 180 days and began to work on the project,
which will be ready this year. The project has received
criticism from environmentalists who claim it does not
consider critical concepts and measures.

in all weathers. But environmentalists are alarmed at the
plans to cut through the country's natural assets."

JAN. 21, 2005 - Plans to increase Colombia's share of the
global palm oil market received a boost last month when the
Center for Oil Palm Research, Cenipalma, opened its first
research station. Researchers at the experimental farm -
called La Vizcaina - will attempt to breed new varieties of
oil palm that produce higher yields of better quality oil.
They will also try to improve the palms' ability to resist
attack by crop pests and diseases. This site is intended to
become a living collection of oil palm varieties, with about
half of the farm's 825 hectares set aside for growing
samples of both the American oil palm (Elaeis oleifera) and
the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Both species are
grown in Colombia.

Environmental Concern
FEB. 05, 2005 -A project is being developed by the Colombian
Ministry of Mines and Energy and plans to interconnect 500-
600 km of electric lines between Colombia and Panama at
a cost of US$172-221 million. Environmentalists are
concerned the lines will cut through and, thus, negatively
affect, the Darien forest, the largest protected area in
Central America (597,000 hectares; created in 1980) and also
claim that the local communities were not consulted. If the
project is carried out, the electric lines will connect
Cerromatoso substation, in Cordoba (Colombia) and Panama II
by 2008.

¶23. Argentina: Experimental Hydrogen Production, in
Patagonia
FEB. 01, 2005 - The first trial production of hydrogen was
successfully carried out in Pico Truncado, Santa Cruz
(Argentina), generating high hopes for future energy
possibilities. The collaboration of the University of
Quebec, The Hydrogen Association of Argentina, and the city
of Pico Truncado resulted in a successful demonstration of
enough hydrogen to inflate small balloons. Residents of
Pico Truncado hope that the hydrogen plant will one day meet
the city's domestic electricity consumption and potentially
serve as a heat and vehicular fuel source.

¶25. Colombia, Brazil Study Transborder Hydroelectric Project
JAN. 20, 2005 - Colombian president Alvaro Uribe is
proposing to his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inacio Lula Da
Silva, that the two countries construct a hydroelectric
plant on their common border. Uribe said the construction
of a hydroelectric plant would guarantee permanent
electricity to the Brazilian border town of Tabatinga and,
on the other side of the border, the Colombian town of
Leticia. He said feasibility studies have begun, though
costs and other relevant issues haven't yet been worked out.

¶26. Brazil: Controversial Hydroelectric Project Follows
Through
JAN. 12, 2005 - A controversial hydroelectric project, which
threatens a highly endangered remnant of Brazil's Atlantic
forest now looks likely to go ahead. Deforestation has
resumed in the gorge of the Pelotas River dividing the
southern Brazilian states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande
do Sul, to prepare for the filling of a reservoir behind the
180m (590ft) Barra Grande dam. It follows the ending of a
long impasse during which the $400m project was threatened
by blockades from local people affected by the dam and court
proceedings brought by environmental groups.

¶28. Chile: Mining Project Stirs Environmental Complaints
JAN. 19, 2005 - Environmental groups claim that Codelco's
Mansa Mina project in Calama will cause significant damage
to the landscape and want it to be reconsidered. Citizens
said they are worried about water filtration near the mine
and possible runoff into the river Loa.
State-run Codelco plans to spend US$900 million on a new
mine in northern Chile that could produce 188,000 metric
tons of the precious metal a year by 2007. The mine would
excavate 50,000 tons of copper a day.
