SPECIAL REPORTS:
CENTRAL AMERICA
Profit or the right to health?
CAFTA free trade accord under fire by public
health advocates. Regional health professionals have raised a voice of
concern over the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) with the United
States, saying it contains tough measures of intellectual property rights
protections that will make access to generic medications nearly impossible.
The trade agreement, expected to be ratified in the coming months by the
legislatures of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, the
Dominican Republic and United States, gives priority to profit over lives and
threatens the weak public health and regulatory systems of Central American
countries, the critics say.

dads we men can be just to survive the jungle the world has become for them.

ECOTOURISM: FACT OR FICTION?
What is ecotourism?
The interesting thing about ecotourism is that very few people know how to
answer that question. The large part of the problem is that ecotourism means
different things to different people. To some, Pirates of the Caribbean might
suit well for an ecotourist adventure. To others, eating tree bark while
photographing squirrels is a much better alternative.
