Re: dam-l interested in Mexican rivers, dams and fish
Dear list members,
Our Native Forest Network Resource Center is also interested in Steve
McAdam's query regarding dams, etc in Mexico and Central America. I was in
the Selva Lacandona region (Chiapas, Mexico) last year and was close to the
Rio Usumacinta and I recently got back from Nicaragua's North Atlantic
Autonomous Region (RAAN). I have forwarded this query on to one of our
contacts.
Please keep us informed of any information regarding this as it fits in to
our Project for Central American Rainforests.
