Dear General Consul,

It is a pleasure to submit the proposal of our "Manaus Community Development Network" to the Japanese Government. This document is a result of a long and hard effort, not finished yet, to promote sustainable development in Amazonia.

The institutions and governments involved in this process, particularly GLOSAS, have search for all possible alternatives to make this important project to grow strong and consistently.

We are confident that the Japanese Government, knowing the importance of Amazonia to the rest of the world, will positively respond to our proposal.


Sincerely,



Hidembergue Frota
Rector
