Prize JARI CELULOSE S.A. The year 2001 marked the beginning of a new and decisive phase in the extraordinary history of JarI Celulose (www.jari.com.br). In the prior year, Grupo Orsa, S.A. had wrapped up a deal to acquire the company – a heavily indebted pulp mill remotely located along the Jari River in the northeast section of the Amazon Basin in Brazil (see Exhibit 1). In order to take over the company, Orsa had to negotiate with the pulp mill's bank creditors, who had agreed with their proposal to buy Jari for the symbolic amount of US$ 1.00. At the same time, Orsa also committed to repay bank loans amounting to US$ 415 million over the next 11 years as well as to make investments to modernize the pulp mill, construct a hydroelectric generator, and fund social initiatives in the region.

  • Revision of Annesijoa, Elateriospermum and the Introduced Species of Hevea in Malesia (Euphorbiaceae)
    BLUMEA 49: 425– 440 Published on 10 December 2004 doi: 10.3767/000651904X484351 REVISION OF ANNESIJOA, ELATERIOSPERMUM AND THE INTRODUCED SPECIES OF HEVEA IN MALESIA (EUPHORBIACEAE) HOANG VAN SAM1 & PETER C. vaN WELZEN2 SUMMARY Annesijoa is an endemic monotypic genus from New Guinea with as single species A. novoguineensis. Elateriospermum is also monotypic (E. tapos) and found in West Malesia. The South American genus Hevea comprises about 10 species. One species (H. brasiliensis) is presently cultivated worldwide in plantations for its rubber and has become one of the major economic products of SE Asia. Two other species, H. guianensis and H. pauciflora are sometimes present in Malesian botanical gardens. Key words: Euphorbiaceae, Annesijoa, Elateriospermum, Hevea, Malesia. INTRODUCTION Three genera are revised for Flora Malesiana, Annesijoa Pax & K. Hoffm., Elaterio­ spermum Blume, and Hevea Aubl. These genera are not very closely related, but they are all part of the subfamily Crotonoideae (Webster, 1994; Radcliffe-Smith, 2001), though classified in different tribes (Jatropheae, Elateriospermeae, and Micrandreae subtribe Heveinae, respectively). Typical for the Micrandreae are colporate pollen with a reticulate sexine, articulate laticifers, absent petals, and plenty of endosperm (oily in the Heveinae). The Jatropheae and Elateriospermeae share inaperculate pollen with a typical ‘crotonoid’ sexine, inarticulate laticifers, petals absent or not, and seeds with or without endosperm. They differ in several characters, the Elateriospermeae lack endosperm and have no petals, while these are present in the Jatropheae. The three genera can easily be distinguished from each other. Hevea and Elaterio­ spermum have white latex, whereas Annesijoa has variable latex ranging from clear to white to red.

  • A Forest Beyond the Trees: Tree Cutting in Rural Ghana
    WORKSHOP IN POLITICAL THEORY AND POLICY ANALY..JS 513 NORTH PARK INDIANA UNIVERSITY BtOOMfNGTON, INDIANA 47<k>8-3lti6 A FOREST BEYOND THE TREES: TREE CUTTING IN RURAL GHANA George J. S. Dei Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Institute for International and Developmental Studies University of Windsor ABSTRACT This paper examines the complexity of human forces involved in the processes of tree cutting in a Ghanaian forest region. It provides evidence to link the indiscriminate tree cutting activities in some local communities to the gradual loss of communal control over land and the replacement of kin group control with state property regimes. The author points to the interrelated factors of the state's promotion of an export-led development strategy and the intensification of agricultural commercialization, as well as household and group differential and unequal access to land as all having a deleterious impact on local traditions of sustainable forestry. Key words: Sustainable forestry, deforestation, land tenure, rural economy, Ghana, West Africa. INTRODUCTION Among the major environmental and developmental problems facing humankind today is how to sustain the world's forests by developing structures and patterns best suited to both harvesting and protecting environmental resources. Ecologists have generally highlighted the importance of forest environments in maintaining the stability of the global ecosystem and in preserving biological diversity (Friday and Laskey, 1989; Myers, 1989; Bolm, 1989). The general public is gradually becoming aware of the dangers associated with the so-called greenhouse effect in the debate over, and condemnation of the on-going destruction of the Amazon forest in South America.

E-mail: Abstract: The Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro) Botanical Garden (JB/UFRRJ) has a green area occupied mostly by sparsely planted arboreal species, in addition to a small area of regenerating forest and plantations. In consideration of the Brazilian federal rules for botanical gardens, the collection of the Arboretum was studied systematically: collection of complete samples, herborization and identification of the species by accepted botanical methods. The occurrence of native species from different Brazilian phytogeographic domains and common names were verified. A total of 125 species of arboreal Eudicotyledons, belonging to 30 families were registered, of which Fabaceae, Bignoniaceae, Malvaceae, Myrtaceae and Anacardiaceae were the richest ones. Species in danger of extinction and others with biological, ecological or economic value are represented, demonstrating the importance of the area to flora conservation.
