[HELICONIUS] Oportunidad para investigaciones en los Andes e Amazonia

[Jim Mallet]

Estimados colegas,

http://www.nerc.ac.uk/research/programmes/espa/events/ao1.asp

Estuve mirando el sitio web de Natural Environment Research Council del 
Reino Unido, y parece que hay oportunidades para conseguir fondos para 
investigaciones en la zona.  El sitio web exacto esta escrito arriba.

En breve, la investigacion debe ser para maximizar la alivio de la pobreza 
en Amazonia/Andes, Africa (Sahel), India, Hindu Kush, y China.  El proyecto 
debe hacer analisis de las amenazas a los servicios del ecosistema de mas 
importancia al bienestar de los pobres de cada region.  El proyecto debe 
incluir cientificos de la region, del Reino Unido, y de otras partes, y 
tiene que ser liderado por investigadores de la region.

La convocatoria esta un poco alejada de nuestro tema, pero vale la pena de 
informarles y para pasar este informacion a otros colegas.

Saludos, Jim
