"Nevertheless, the conservation of the flora and fauna of developing countries should be of concern to all of us, since these countries house the greatest species diversity to be found on this planet.

Cognizant of that, conservation international –an organization that directs its actions toward the protection of biodiversity throughout the world- created a group called rap (rapid assessment program) comprised of specialists in various branches of biology who travel about the world identifying, in just a few weeks, priority areas to be conserved due to the biological richness contained therein.

A similar worldwide action could be conducted in the area of dissemination by means of a team comprised of publishing firms and a group of professional photographers who would work for a few months in the countries with the greatest biodiversity, in areas that are threatened. The publication of articles with outstanding photos in different international magazines would bring those areas to the forefront of world interest and might pave the way toward economic support for their conservation."
