Additional information
The author attended the meeting of the IUCN Commission on Ecology and the Symposium on the Ecological Structures and Problems of Amazonia at São Carlos, SP. He delivered a lecture on conservation work with regard to Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest, and afterwards conducted an excursion to the latter with several members of the Commission on Ecology.
His thesis for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture, “Toward a History of the Brazilian Forests”, (University of California, Berkeley, USA, 1979, 114 pp.), aroused the interest of COE members. As it contains a number of elements highly relevant to the subject of the Symposium on Amazonia, I was happy to prepare, with the author's permission, this abridged version of the (unpublished) thesis, for inclusion in the Proceedings.
