SPECIAL REPORTS
HEALTH-LATIN AMERICA:
HIV/AIDS
an Unequal Epidemic
There are 1.6 million people in Latin America living with the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the AIDS epidemic is growing, and
although it is under some control, it continues to hit certain
countries and certain groups very hard.
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), in a global
report launched Tuesday, said that in Brazil the prevalence of HIV
infection is less than one percent, but in some cities reaches more
than 60 percent among users of illegal intravenous drugs.
THE TAKE:
DON'T ASK
“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.
“People, the fickle creatures that we are, went to all the trouble to
build cities only later to find ourselves wanting to leave them.”
