CALL FOR PAPERS
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT
Drake Bay, PenInsula de Osa, Costa Rica, Central America
June 20-24th, 1994
(Indian Summer)
1. La FundaciOn para la ProtecciOn del Bosque
Primario (FUNBOSPRI) (Foundation for Primary Forest Pro-
tection) is calling for papers from specialists, orga-
nizations and people interested in ecology, environment and
related fields.
The goals of the conference are to share experi-
ences, to get perspectives and to discuss problems related
with ecology and environment and to join individuals and
institutions interested in these topics. The conference will
also give you the opportunity to enjoy some of the most
beautiful places of our country and discuss about the eco-
logical problems of the area in order to propose solutions.
2. Location of the conference.
Peninsula de Osa is located 350 kms south
of Costa Rica international airport. It is one of the
most beautiful places of Costa Rica and one of the most
appreciated regions internationally. There are two ways of
transportation: by air and by a combination of land and
river. We are planning a combination of both. From San Jos
to Drake Bay, we suggest to travel by land-river. This is
divided into two parts: the first from San Jose to
Sierpe by bus and the second from Sierpe to Drake Bay
by boat. People who have visited this region are stroken by
its beauty. The second part of the travel is particularly
exciting: navegating by Sierpe River appreciating beautiful
places, clear water, marshes at both sides of the river,
very often different varieties of crabs and other kind of
animals can be seen. We will return to San JosE by air.
We hope this will provide you complementary sights of the
region. This event will give you the opportunity of know-
ing these places and seeing one of the locations that
deserve conservation and care. The conference will be five
days long (from Monday through Friday). However, it is
necessary that you arrive to San JosE by Saturday 18th.
You will stay at the Hotel Herradura for two nights ( 18
and 25). For the first night we are organizing a
wellcome meeting. Sunday morning we depart to PenInsula
de Osa. We will back to San JosE Saturday 25th, once
there you will stay at Herradura again. Hotels from Osa
are considering to include special rates for additional
days to do some sight-seeings or trips after the confer-
ence is finished. Two trips are planned during the confer-
ence: the first to Isla del CaNo, one of the most ex-
citing places, which main characteristic is its giant
forest and archeological interest, and the second to the
Corcovado's National Park which is characterized by its
primary forest and exotic biological varieties. The
conference schedule is planned so that it allows people to
travel during the week and to do other activities.
