Hi - Peggy this is the event that I am organizing at the UN - my main 
emphasis is that with deforestation causing as much man made carbon 
emmisions as the US - and that global climate change policy makers are 
starting to integrate prevention of deforestation into climate change 
mitigation models/mechanisms - if this happens Indigenouos people have to 
have a say and a stake in this mechanism - the deforestaton is happening 
on their land. Part of this event will cover this topic and hopefully make 
a statement to the World Environment Day in Berlin on June 6 - many thanks 
-
David

Please pass this onto anyone you thinks can attend - we have 750 seats to
