Catemaco Feria de Conservacion

1er. Feria de Conservacion, Preservacion y Restauracion de los Ecosistemas y su Biodiversidad sponsored by COEPA, Consejo Estatal de Proteccion al Ambiente, Abril 22-24, 2005.

Oh Goodie! Another Organization to add to my list. There are probably more words in the description than there were attendees. But a good time seem to have been had by all.

I bought a copy of Los Tuxtlas - Paisaje Y Pensamiento. Terrible! A tourist guide book for RECT! At 320 pesos for poorly printed stock with a haphazard binding I feel robbed.

On the other hand, I also bought the highly recommendable Los Tuxtlas - El paisaje de la sierra. Great photos, and at 200 pesos, a gift.

My partner was excited by a pamphlet on how to cook pica-pica (a poson ivy type plant) and amost cried over the dog skin mixed with the tigrillo, iguana and tuza pelts. . The rest of the fair was less than impressive but kept a lot of "biologos" happy and talking, and I´m sure tomorrow´s news will reveal a new bundle of high flying promises.
