Directory
Edited by Martha Belcher and Angela Gennino
The Rainforest Action Network introduces _Southeast Asia
Rainforests: A Resource Guide and Directory_, a "resource guide"
for people and organizations who want to join the international
fight to save Southeast Asia's rainforests. Countries profiled
include Burma, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines,
Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
_Southeast Asia Rainforests: A Resource Guide and Directory_ is
based on the premise that saving the rainforest requires
incorporating the leadership of the indigenous peoples of
Southeast Asia and the resources and technical support of the
international community.
Accordingly, _Southeast Asia Rainforests: A Resource Guide and
Directory_ includes a directory of the names, addresses, and
descriptions of rainforest organizations around the world. Unique
to this guide are the profiles of the indigenous organizations on
the forefront, detailing their programs, needs and how to contact
them.
This guide puts within easy reach the practical information both
concerned citizens and seasoned environmentalists need to
translate their interests into effective actions. _Southeast Asia
Rainforests: A Resource Guide and Directory_ features:
> A country by country overview of the major threats to Southeast
Asia's forests and the indigenous peoples who depend on them for
their survival.
> Statistics of yearly rates of deforestation, size of remaining
forests, volume of timber exports and size of timber industry.
> Profiles of 250 groups in Southeast Asia, Australia, North
America, Europe and Japan working to save the rainforests of the
