[Roberto Pardo]

Dear Dr. Spalding. Our organization working on
establish protected areas and marine conservation
projects. As a matter of fact we have a project to
establish a Marine Protected Area in Malaga bay
(Colombian Pacific coast) to protect an important
ecosystems and species like mangroves and humpback
whales and coral reefs in the Gorgona National Park.
Our work also is with the communities and schools of
the area to improve the conservation of this
environments through the environmental education
programs. For this reason we are interested obtain the
the World Atlas of Coral Reefs. We are sure that this
help us in our projects. Unfortunately due our
finnacial crisis its imposible to buy it. All the
money here is to our internal war not for the
environment so we ask your support. Thanks  again and
Best regards, Roberto
