DESCRIPTION:"Conflict of Interest"  A New Report on the Logging of Burma's 
 Forests\n\nPlease join us for a brown bag lunch presentation for the US 
 launch of this new report\n\n"Conflict of Interest," an important new 
 report by the UK-based environmental organization Global Witness, exposes 
 the devastating logging of Burma's northern old-growth temperate 
 rainforests by Chinese timber companies from neighboring Yunnan Province. 
 The massive logging has irreparable environmental implications for Burma's 
 entire watershed, the survival of the Kachin indigenous people, and the 
 political relationship between the regimes of Burma and China.\n\nEdith 
 Mirante, one of the only outsiders to have observed the recent 
 deforestation on the remote Burma/China border, will give an overview of 
 the report and the logging situation in Burma. Ms. Mirante is the director 
 of Project Maje, a Burma human rights and environmental information 
 project, and consultant to the Global Witness report.\n\nEvent sponsored by 
 Global Witness, Open Society Institute, Project Maje, Get Up, Stand Up 
 Communications, and Burma Project. \n
