My name is Blake H. Schmidt and I am program coordinator here at Iracambi's Research Center in the Atlantic Forest of Brasil. I was asked by Binka Le Breton to contact you and invite your students to come down our way to do internships and research projects. I understand you are work with students in the Brasil Studies Program. I have attached various documents which might interest you but some of which might be outside of the realm of study and interest of your students. If there are any of the following areas; Biological Studies; Forest Restoration; Generating Forest Income; Land Management or Social Context of the Forest that are of intrerest to you or your students please email and I can send you documents with more detailed information.

This information can be complemented by visiting our website or contacting me via this email address. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have and look forward to seeing how our institutions can work together.

Yours truly,

Blake H. Schmidt
