Latin American Information Sources Paulo Ramírez , News Research Library, El Mercurio, Chile 1998 SLA News Division Panel: "News Outside the USA". Indianapolis, June 8, 1998 As professor José María Desantes stated some years ago, Hispanic-American countries com from a "tradition of secrecy", by which the information availability and management is a "learned behavior", and not a completely natural behavior neither in our public powers nor in the private sector. Here we have a recognition of something that has become one more of this years common places: information in power. Maybe this is what explains the general distrust in front of the first steps of the Internet in our countries, especially those coming from the United States, with that broad and free availability of all kinds of useful information. For someone not used to this tradition of secrecy is hard to imagine the real emotion felt by many journalists when they discover information services on the Internet, particularly those that answer exactly the questions that they have in mind. Most of our countries are seen as less competitive because of the bad quality of their statistics, and for the same reason it’s hard for international observers to get a common picture of Latin American development. And things only get worse when you enter the Internet: it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to use Newton N. Minow’s expression "a vast wasteland", to portrait Latin American useful information resources on the net.

PREMIUM PARTNERS TRAVEL EDUCATION ... SEARCH THIS SITE Last Updated EXPLORING ECOTOURISM Latin America Ecotourism by Ron Mader PLANETA FORUM In a separate chapter of the Exploring Ecotourism Resource Guide we reviewed definitions , particularly what constitutes ecotourism. But what is it in the field ... and in particular in Latin America? This section of the resource guide is being revised in 2004. Suggestions are invited via the backchannel or our forum Ecotourism in Mexico Please see the Mexico chapter for additional information and resources. In many Latin American countries officials intrigued by the promise of "ecotourism" have attempted to promote and/or regulate this niche market. In each case, the first challenge has been uniting energies of the tourism and environmental departments. Unfortunately, however, there have been more failures than successes here as government departments prefer sole control of a project. Mexico should be the case example of things done right. It is one of the few Latin American examples in which the Tourism and Environmental Secretariats (SECTUR) and (SEMARNAP) signed an agreement to collaborate on ecotourism development. This took place in 1995. However, while the offices are officially working together, there have been few results, perhaps because the liaison personnel in both offices have been in great flux. The lack of continuity threatens successful coordination between the two institutions.

Weighing a giant tortoise in the Galapagos Islands. Hurricane Mitch Installation of a satellite receiving system in Honduras. Overview: The USGS historically has been active in South America, a region that has long been involved in the mineral and mining sectors. USGS has collaborated with counterpart agencies in Bolivia and Venezuela to produce mineral resource assessments of the Alti Plano in Bolivia and in the eastern part of Venezuela. Currently, workshops on human health issues related to the environment are underway in Venezuela and Chile. Suriname and Guyana are interested in promoting collaborative activities. Oil and gas assessments are of interest as well. All South American coal-bearing countries have been involved in the World Coal Inventory project. Collaborative efforts focused on hydrology (stream gage monitoring networks), biology (health of the shrimp economy in southern Honduras), and geology (health of coral reefs, landslides, earthquakes, volcanoes), along with data clearinghouse networks, satellite imagery interpretation, and training in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Much of this work was done in close collaboration with other Federal agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE).

The agency funds various forms of technical assistance, feasibility studies, training, orientation visits and business workshops that support the development of a modern infrastructure and a fair and open trading environment. USTDA's strategic use of foreign assistance funds to support sound investment policy and decision-making in host countries creates and enabling environment for trade, investment and sustainable economic development. Operating at the nexus of foreign policy and commerce, USTDA is uniquely positioned to work with U.S. firms and host countries in achieving the agency's trade and development goals. In carrying out its mission, USTDA gives emphasis to economic sectors that may benefit from U.S. exports of goods and services. Background on USTDA in Latin America and the Caribbean The USTDA program in Latin America and the Caribbean has grown substantially since its inception, and demand for USTDA support is at record levels. Most of the initial USTDA projects in Latin America and the Caribbean grew out of public sector ministries and agencies in host countries. As many countries initiated broad privatization programs, however, responsibility for the infrastructure of these countries has been transferred to the private sector. In response to this trend, USTDA is considering a growing number of privately sponsored infrastructure projects in the region. USTDA does not consider projects that entail the military, prison work, surveillance of people, drug interdiction, or projects that are dependent on technology or processes that have not been proven successful through sustained commercial operations.
