                        Dear SfAA Colleagues:
                                                                           AUG 2 3  2002
In 1996 the Environmental Protection Agency and the Society for Applied
Anthropology entered into a five-year cooperative agreement establishing the
Environmental Anthropology Project.  Its aim: to increase the access of
communities and policy makers to anthropological expertise in the solution of
environmental problems.
In all, thirty fellows and interns received funding under this agreement. While
working with EPA staff and community organizations, they applied their
anthropological skills and insights to a wide range of environmental
challenges, from minimizing the human costs of ecological restoration in south
Florida, and analyzing the implications of a habitat conservation program for
Washington state farmers, to mapping the perceptions of risk in communities
surrounding a nuclear power plant in Michigan.  More information about the
Environmental Anthropology Project is available on the SfAA web site:
http ://www. sfaa. net/eap/abouteap. html.
Many SfAA members contributed to the project's success as director, members
of its advisory committee, mentors for project interns, and editors for the
project's reports and publications.  Enclosed is a final product of the
Environmental Anthropology Project, a series of five Reviews highlighting
themes and issues in environmental anthropology, primarily illustrated by
work conducted under this project. These include: (I) Human Dimensions of
Environmental Policy; (2) Community Participation in Watershed
Management; (3) Restoring the Florida Everglades: Social Impacts; (4)
Environmental Stewardship in Indian Country; and (5) Making a Difference in
the World: Applied Anthropology Internships. The five Reviews are available
as a set for classroom use at a modest cost from the Society office.
With warm regards,
Noel Chrisman
