Hi, Im a Uni Graduate and will be setting off to travel around south america. I wondered if anybody knows of some environmental bodies/groups/organisations etc that centre around sustainable development/sustainability and conservation. I really want to do some work whilst out there to gather experience.

Any info would be of great help as im not finding much on the web.

Cheers in anticipation!

In response to Vinay:

Total adult literacy in South America ranges from 83% (in French Guiana) to 98.8% (in Guyana). In general female literacy (which ranges from 81.6% to 98.5%) is slightly lower than male literacy (which ranges from 84% to 99.1%).



Further literacy information for each country in South America can be found in the education category.



Statistics relating to technology including the number of mobile telephones, personal computers and televisions can be found in the media category.

In response to Susan Kaye and to BK - South America comprises 16 countries; your queries need to be more specific.

And BK, there are several inhabited islands in the Caribbean and, while this query also should ideally be more specific, the islands have some common features and history. The name 'Caribbean' comes from the Carib people of the Lesser Antilles islands. An interesting fact is that some common words in use in English were borrowed from the Carib language, such as "hammock," "iguana," "hurricane" (after the Carib god of evil), and "maize."

Hi Patty -- are you referring to the tuna complex being built by the Spanish Albacora Group at Posorja, Ecuador? If so, for photographs, see: http://www.highbeam.com/library/doc0.asp?docid=1P1:88086026&dtype=1~1~0~0&dinst=0~&author=Stuart%20Franklin&title=ECUADOR.%20Galapagos%20Islands.%20Posorja.%20Boat%20used%20for%20offshore%20sardine%20fishing.%201997.%20%28LON28702%29&date=01/01/1997&refid=ency_botpm.

Poverty loevels? Maybe you should have a look at economy statistics (GDP)? Or if you are talking about people, you shd look at percentage people living below poverty line etc.. Either way, check out stats in http://ww.nationmaster.com/cat/economy and see which one interests you.
