ENVIRONMENT IN LATIN AMERICA NETWORK (ELAN): New July 15, 1994

``` Date: Fri, 15 Jul 1994 16:25:06 CDT From: J. Timmons Roberts To: Multiple recipients of list DEVEL-L Subject: ENVIRONMENT IN LATIN AMERICA NETWORK (ELAN): New July 15, 1994

ANNOUNCEMENT:

New ELAN (Env-Latin Am Network), Listserver, July, 15, 1994

The ENVIRONMENT IN LATIN AMERICA NETWORK (ELAN)

Latin America's diverse ecosystems are the site of intense struggles between myriad political and economic groups interested in their use and/or protection. This open discussion group is designed to raise critical issues and provide communication links between researchers, activists, academics and other parties with interest in the region. We seek to promote wide-ranging multidisciplinary discussions on ELAN which bring together a broader group of natural and social scientists and practitioners than have so far addressed issues facing the region. ELAN should also serve as a network for researchers in discussing data sources, contacts, books, and resources on the region.

One immediate task for ELAN is coordinating and organizing a series of paper sessions and workshops for the upcoming fall, 1995 Latin American Studies Association (LASA) conference. The deadline for that conference is November, 1994. Announcements for other conferences and journals will run on ELAN.

The ELAN listserver was established in July, 1994 by the Environment and Natural Resources Working Group of the Latin American Studies Association; its editors are David Barkin and Timmons Roberts. David Barkin is Professor of Economics at the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana Xochimilco, Mexico, and Senior Fellow at the Lincoln Insititute of Land Policy. Timmons Roberts is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Latin American Studies at Tulane University. The co-chairs of the LASA working group are Janet Chernela of Florida International University and David Barkin.

Note also that we will be archiving the exchanges on the listserver so that you can review what happened before you arrived. These archives also include papers and data sets which are accessable to anyone with Gopher capabilities. To access the ELAN archives, use your Gopher to get to Colorado/CSF/and then move into the environment front-line directory. These archives are open to both ELAN subscribers and all others. Still, we encourage ELAN archive users to join ELAN, and we will attempt to keep the net clear of extraneous postings and make it possible for several more focused discussions to go on at the same time.

We hope you join and enjoy ELAN, making it your own. ```
