Abstract

Signs of deterioration of the global environment and threatened destruction of the vast Amazon forest have stirred a call for action.Conservationists have always been concerned about the tropical forests; now funds are being made available for increased work on problems in the region. Brazilian scientists struggle to communicate with colleagues in the rest of the world while scientists from other areas are discovering that to work effectively in Brazil, one must speak Portuguese. One must also be able to read Portuguese to benefit from the local tech-nical literature.
