                          FOREST'92  &  ECO-URBS'92



          During the 24th to the 29th May 1992, the  SECOND INTERNATIONAL
          SYMPOSIUM ON ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES OF TROPICAL FORESTS, FOREST'92
          and the FIRST INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
          OF LARGE URBAN CENTERS, ECO-URBS'92  will take place in  Rio de
          Janeiro, Brazil.  These two events will serve as the gateway to
          the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development
          (UNICED).


          FOREST'92  will give special emphasis to the sustainable development
          of the Amazon region, with discussions on ecosystems of the forest,
          flora, fauna and water resources and the defence of indigenous
          communities.  The conclusions and recommendations will be submitted
          to the principal governmental and non-governmental authorities in
          Brazil and the rest of the world, with a view to influencing future
          environmental action in the Amazon.


          ECO-URBS'92  will focus attention on urban environmental management
          of the large cities.  The agenda will include the discussion of
          social, cultural and economic aspects such as sanitation, health,
          housing, transportation and other problems of large urban centers,
          notably of developing countries.
