	AgBioForum 7(1&2): Transgenic Cotton in Mexico
		In this paper, we summarize the impact of the introduction of Bt cotton in the Comarca Lagunera region in the northern states of Coahuila and Durango.
		At present, cotton yields in the Comarca Lagunera stand at 125% of the national average, having increased from less than one ton/ha in the late 1980s to 1.6 tons/ha in 2000 (Figure 1).
		Of particular importance in Comarca Lagunera were the key government interventions of credit for financing the purchase of Bt cottonseed combined with technical assistance for small landholders and the implementation of an effective integrated pest management program.

	Republic of Panama: Rural Development Project for Ngöbe-Buglé Communities
		The lasting impact of this objective and the legal recognition of the Comarca in 1997 confirm that the design was correct from the strategic standpoint.
		One of the project's most important accomplishments is its contribution to the recognition of the Ngöbe-Buglé Comarca, since the achievement of that legal status will ensure effective protection of the territories of the Ngöbe-Buglé people, establishment of their own forms of government, and maintenance of their way of life and traditions.
		The training imparted under the Training/Organization component was targeted at four different types of participants: producers in the grass-roots groups, leaders of the cooperatives and associations, technical personnel of the PEU and the institutions involved in co-execution of the project, and indigenous leaders.

	The truth of the matter
		Between 1975 and 1999, a jail in Dili known as Comarca Balide was used by the Indonesian military as an interrogation and detention centre.
		There were frequent disappearances and executions without trial; inmates spent months without bedding or clothes in grossly overcrowded, dark cells in which human excrement frequently fouled the floor; there were horrific beatings, torture with electricity and water; and, not surprisingly, appalling food.
		Alfaro was thrown into Comarca in 1975 because he had been in the Portuguese army: "I trembled at the thought of interrogation.

	FOR: Panamá Update, Winter 1997
		In 1984 comarca negotiations with the government came to a standstill; this would be the last time the issue would be considered seriously by the government for 10 years.
		The year 1986 was perhaps the low point of the modern Ngobe-Buglé movement because of splits within the community brought on by a government campaign of discrediting leadership, co-optation, counter-comarca proposals, and the recruitment of the large landholders by the state against the Ngobe-Buglés.
		In 1993 the Ngobe-Buglés presented a draft law for the comarca to the Assembly.

		The decision to press forward with comarca legislation, 26 years after it was first proposed, came after months of protests and demonstrations by tribal members.
		The president's position is that the comarca law satisfies the need to respect indigenous culture and traditions, but that this respect should not lead to the creation of a "state within a state." "That would only mean isolation of the Guaymi outside Panama's national structure," said the president.

		Campana tested existing water supplies -- surface water and water from primitive, unsanitary dug wells -- and found that while the overall chemical quality is good, the threat of fecal contamination is present (all PathoScreen tests were positive, indicating a high potential for fecal contamination from unsanitary practices and poor source protection).
		The project will also provide a first step in helping the Epera quantify their comarca's water supplies so that they can better manage this critical resource, and mitigate the contamination of their rivers.
