Unblemished golden beaches where the waters run a clear deep blue dot the coast of Ecuador. Towering mountains that seem to rise forever add a majestic beauty to the coastal forests of Panama. Lush tropical rain forests, which stretch from Puerto Rico to the Amazons, harbor exotic animals and plants. Each year millions of travelers flock to Latin America to view these wonders. But these days they come seeking a new travel experience, something the tourism industry has dubbed "ecotourism." What exactly is ecotourism? Despite the growing use of the term, there is no consensus on its definition. The Vermont-based Ecotourism Society defines it as "responsible travel to natural areas, which conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local people." In its broader definition, it refers to what many local communities and governments are doing. Tired of resource-extracting operations like oil drilling and logging, they have embraced the idea of a sustainable economy based on their natural treasures.

L ATIN A MERICAN S TUDIES C URRICULUM The Latin American studies program at Bucknell encompasses all nations in the Western Hemisphere south of the United States, as well as Latin Americans within the U.S. - the nation's second largest minority. Few areas of the world are so frequently discussed and so little understood as Latin America. The 20th century continues to be a time of rapid and profound transformation in Latin America. Democratic movements and revolutionary theories seek to reorder societies faced with severe economic crises, burgeoning populations, and extreme poverty and inequality. Latin Americans must find solutions to their problems within a global economic and political system that they did not create and over which they have only marginal control. In Latin America, Native American, African, and European peoples form a dynamic cultural matrix that is particularly evident in the field of arts and letters. Latin Americans are universally acclaimed for producing superbly crafted, self-conscious works of art that simultaneously chronicle their past while envisioning their future. Latin American studies at Bucknell integrates several academic disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities. This interdisciplinary approach permits a comprehensive analysis of the socio-political complexity and cultural diversity of Latin America, within the framework of its role in the hemisphere. Study of Latin America challenges ethnocentric attitudes and offers students an opportunity to raise essential questions about human rights, responsibilities, values, and quality of life.

Knowledge Base > Giving and Volunteering in Latin America Giving and Volunteering in Latin America By Peggy Dulany Peggy Dulany is Chair of The Synergos Institute This paper was produced as an introduction for Spring 2002 issue of ReVista: Harvard Review of Latin America which focused on giving and volunteering in the America. ReVista is published by the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University. While philanthropy in Latin America is still in evolution, institutionalized private philanthropy is a growing and increasingly significant reality. In every country a culturally specific concept and term for what we call philanthropy exists. Interestingly, this concept has historically been more developed in poor communities, rural and urban, than among the wealthy. In Mexico it is known by the Indian word ; in Ecuador, by the indigenous term minga . These terms imply more than giving money as does philanthropy. The meanings encompass mutual self-help and community action for the good of the whole. The intent, however, is very much the same as philanthropy: love of humanity. This situation is changing quite dramatically, however. In Brazil and Mexico, a more institutionalized, development- (as opposed to charity) oriented philanthropic ethos is emerging among many wealthy individuals and corporations.

No. 167, Mar. 23-Apr. 3, 2002 FRONT PAGE COMMENTARY LETTERS NATIONAL ... Alternative Media Links Latin Americans protest ‘free trade,’ Bush Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Monterrey, Mexico last week to demonstrate against “free trade” and the US government during the International Conference on Financing for Development. Compiled by Eamon Martin Mar. 26— This past week, US president George W. Bush conducted a fast-paced tour of Latin American countries to hold a series of high profile press conferences. The cameras flashed as the leaders of Peru, El Salvador, and Mexico beamed approvingly at Bush’s tough promotion of “free trade” as a solution to cure the region’s devastating escalation of poverty. Every step of the way, the US president was dogged by thousands of demonstrators offended by what many of them see as the latest move by the “US empire” to jockey for influence over the poorest regions in the Western hemisphere. Bush’s visit south of the border began with his participation in the United Nations-sponsored International Conference on Financing for Development held in Monterrey, Mexico. Representatives of 171 countries, including 52 heads of state; the World Trade Organization; the International Monetary Fund (IMF); the World Bank; and dozens of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) met to discuss how to meet the United Nations’ stated goal of cutting global poverty in half by 2015. Acknowledging that the trade policies that were supposedly designed to bring economic development to poorer countries have failed to do so, the meeting ended with participating nations signing the “Monterrey Consensus,” committing them to double development aid to reach the UN goal.

The HPP aims to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with rheumatic, musculoskeletal, and skin diseases and their complications, which disproportionately affect African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians/Alaskan Natives, and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders. The HPP concentrates on four key areas: (1) public health education, (2) patient care, (3) access to clinical investigations, and (4) recruitment to research careers. The underlying theme of the HPP is collaboration with communities for better health in rheumatic, musculoskeletal, and skin diseases. PURPOSE The purpose of the initial local HPP is to work together with community leaders and organizations representing the African American and Hispanic/Latino communities in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area to develop a model community-based program that will begin to address the disparities in arthritis and other rheumatic diseases in these communities. The HPP provides access to current scientifically based health information and quality health care through preventive and treatment services. In the next stages, the local HPP will focus on other diseases within the NIAMS mission and additional minority communities.
