This is approximately the same number that were at the meetings in Tucson last year and demonstrates the continued importance of the subfield to applied anthropology as a whole. Due to the success of last year's panel session on issues in environmental anthropology, Ben Blount has organized two panels this year. If last year's event was any indication, look for the latest in research and commentary from several of your colleagues and a spirited debate and discussion to follow. Also our student representative, Rebecca Zarger, has organized the invited student session entitled "Combining Applied and Academic Approaches in Environmental Anthropology: Future Trajectories." This session is scheduled for 10 am on Thursday morning. The time and place of general meeting for the Environmental Anthropology TIG has not yet been established so please be on the lookout for flyers annoucing it and, please try to attend. Also, we are always looking for contributions to the newsletter so if you would like to share your research, comments, news or opinions with us, please email me at rstepp@uga.edu. I hope to see you soon. --Rick MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Environmental Anthropology Topical Interest Group (EA)is to foster communication, improve knowledge and skills, and promote the involvement and employment of applied anthropologists in activities related to environmental research and policy. To accomplish this mission, the EA will produce and distribute the EA newsletter, organize symposia at professional meetings of anthropologists, and present workshops that improve the applied research and administrative skills of environmental anthropologists. AMBIENTNET: THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANTHROPOLOGY TIG LISTSERV AMBIENTNET is a discussion listserve dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and ideas among environmental anthropologists. It is open to anthropologists and persons in related fields with an interest in environmental research, planning pedagogy and administration.

RESEARCH ITEMS Way of Life and Environment. Ethnographic Researches in Three Rural Settlements in Argentina We present an anthropological project that is being carried out in the Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina. It is supported by the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas (CONICET) and the Universidad Nacional de La Plata. The aims of this project are, at a theoretical level, to contribute to the anthropological modelling of ways of life based on the man-natural environment relationship. At a methodological level, to develop a strategy of interdisciplinary research of household activities that involve the use of natural resources. At a pragmatic level, to bring up human resources in this field of research and to transfer the results to different scopes: local communities, scientific institutions and state or private organizations devoted to the planning and to the achievement of community policies (health care, education, housing, tourism, etc.). In this stage, we are doing and co-ordinating fieldwork in three settlements the population of which is representative of the ethnical diversity of the rural area of Argentina. The first one is a Mbya-Guarani aboriginal settlement in the province of Misiones in the Northeast of Argentina. The second one is a peasant location in the Calchaqui Valleys, province of Salta, in the Northwest of our country and I have recently started an interdisciplinary research in the province of Entre Rios, a region in the east where there are a number of communities of European immigrants that came to Argentina in the middle of XIX century. In the three settlements we have the same methodological strategy: to explore the technical resources of ethnography in order to obtain information relevant to the characterization of life styles through the description of activities that involve the use of natural resources at the household level. At present, we are developing two interdisciplinary studies: one of them on Human Parasitology and the other one on Ethnobiology in those settlements. As a part of our interest in the topic we organized a Session at the XI Oral History Conference to be held in Istanbul. There we will consider Oral History as a methodology to have access to the knowledge and management of the natural environment. The aim of the Session is to summon scholars and researchers from all over the world and from different disciplines in order to explore and discuss the relationship man/natural environment in different contexts through studies based on oral records. Some proposals to the Session include: * The relationship between different human settlements, their natural environments and the perception of its variability throughout time. This problematic will be extended to all kind of societies: hunter-gatherers, shepherds, agriculturists, including industrial societies * Different views of the same natural environment in pluri-ethnic populations * Convergence and divergence in the conceptions about the natural environment and its uses. Conflicts on interests in relation to the management of the natural environment. The apocalyptic view of the relationship between human populations and the natural environment. * Scientific and local rationality in the management of the natural environment Marta Crivos y María Rosa Martínez Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas (CONICET) Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo - Universidad Nacional de La Plata ARGENTINA E-Mail: crivos@museo.fcnym.unlp.edu.ar mrmart@netverk.com.ar Address: Calle 11 Nº 1768 1900 - La Plata ARGENTINA UPCOMING CONFERENCES 7th International Congress of Ethnobiology Ethnobiology, Biocultural Diversity, and Benefits Sharing 23-27 October 2000 Department of Anthropology University of Georgia, Athens, U.S.A. The International Society of Ethnobiology will hold its 7th Congress in Athens, Georgia. The theme of the Congress, symbolized by the turtle, is Earth in the next century-specifically ethnobiology's role in maintaining biocultural diversity and ensuring equitable benefits sharing and open dialogue with traditional and indigenous research collaborators. Since its founding in 1988 in Belém, Brazil, the ISE has met every two years. Subsequent congresses have been held in Kunming, China (1990), Mexico City (1992), Lucknow, India (1994), Nairobi, Kenya (1996), and Whakatane, New Zealand (1998). This is the first time that the ISE will hold its congress in the U.S. We expect a strong representation of U.S. and Canadian indigenous groups, as well as traditional peoples from Mexico, Central and Latin America, and around the world. English will be the official language of the Congress. CALL FOR SYMPOSIA AND PAPERS The ISE 7th Congress Planning Committee calls for symposia and/or papers on: Ethnobiology of human health, Intellectual property rights and ethnobiological research, Conservation of biological and cultural diversity, Sustainable development of plant resources, Collaborative research protocols, Benefits sharing and drug discovery, Initiatives by indigenous, traditional, and local communities, and scientists to conserve biological diversity. Following its traditional format, the 7th Congress will be preceded by a number of Pre-Congress Training Workshops, which focus on topics relevant to particular geographical areas or specialized interests. WORKSHOP TOPICS Prior informed consent Ethnobotany and education Balancing local preservation and global benefit sharing People and plants: cultural perspectives on conservation Ethnobiological knowledge and public health Ecological change, cultural transition, and human health other volunteered topics ABSTRACTS Please send your abstracts (no more than 500 words) before July 1, 2000, by e-mail (preferred) to John R.
