A management plan for the Bohemian forest

Article Abstract:

Twenty one mayors from Southern Czechoslovakia sent a statement to the Czechoslovakian Prime Minister in which they stated their support for a management plan for the Sumava national park. Under the plan, the 70,000-hectare national park, formerly a military zone, will be given differing degrees of protection. These protected areas include the core area, the recuperation zone, the traditional use zone and the public use zone. Project leaders agree that there is a need to create conditions that would make people living in the park in consonance with nature.

The Cairo population plan ignores the role of the rural world

Article Abstract:

The 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development, as a consequence of intense lobbying by non-governmental organizations such as Development Alternatives for Women in a New Era, focused on issues other than family planning such as women's rights, reproductive health and sex education. However, lack of discussions on regional issues in the conference reflects the need for including issues such as education and rights protection of rural people in subsequent conferences on population and development.
