520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "Until a few years ago, the mere existence of Cordillera Azul, with its spectacular 7,000-foot mountain peaks and fog-shrouded rain forests, remained a mystery to all but some local coca farmers and a few loggers and biologists. The Cordillera Azul, or Blue Mountains, is so far from human settlements, its peaks so intimidating to climb through, that few people had ever made the journey. But then two venerable Chicago institutions intervened, joining Peruvian conservationists to convince the government to allow the creation of one of the world's largest national parks." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article examines an "experiment on whether private institutions such as Chicago's Field Museum can help preserve and manage a nation's ecological treasures. If the effort succeeds, it will mark a rare victory over the relentless human assault against the equatorial forests of Africa, Asia and South America, where commercial interests big and small kill off an average of 125 square miles of forest every day."
