WELCOME to Ethnobotanical Leaflets. Our Winter 2000 issue has a lot of new material. In Ethno News is a story about the balsameros of Acachapa, El Salvador and efforts underway to assist them in recovering their watershed from the devistation of Hurricane Mitch by Nadia Navarette-Tindall and Georgian Hartzog. Our Policy Corner has a new editorial entitled "A Call for an Economic Botany/Ethnobotany Cluster at NSF." Both stories invite your participation in events to come. The section on Worldwide Economic Botany Resources has an interesting link to "The Forests of the Sachama," a virtual Amazonian rainforest. Galleria Botanica features artist Lynette Rene Cook. Although her two websites reflect her strong interests in outer space, she is also adept at illustrating flowers. Her drawings combine in a very unusual but refreshing way the arts of botanical illustration with social commentary. There are also new links to the Swedish Museum, one to a page on fungal art commisioned by Elias Fries, the father of modern mycology, and another to a page on cryptogamic botany. Enjoy. As always, contributions from our readers are welcome.
