A lecture series entitled "North-South Links for Environmental Activism:  The
Challenge for the 1990's" is being sponsored by the International Development
and Education Association (IDEA).

The first of four monthly Thursday-evening programs will be held on March 18 at
7:30 PM.  Marc Chao, director of the Environmental Program of the Center for
Citizens Initiatives, will speak about environmental problems and grass-roots
environmental activism in the former Soviet Union.  The talk will address
citizen responses to the hazards of nuclear weapons complexes, efforts to
protect the unique eco-systems of enormous Lake Baikal in Siberia, urban
environmental issues in St.  Petersburg, and energy alternatives in non-Russian
regions of the former Soviet Union.

The March 18 presentation will be held at 7:30 PM at the Robson-Harrington
House, 237 Crescent Road, off Woodland Avenue in San Anselmo.  A $6 donation
