Mission Statement:

Develop a way to characterize and monitor the well-being of one of the last true frontiers on Earth - the Amazon Basin rainforest - and devise a set of practical strategies to ensure its preservation

Team Goals:

Research the pros and cons of various data management systems in order to find an effective system that can be implement on experimental data.

Investigate various media outlets and decide what information would best facilitate project success.

Investigate both the internal and external laws and regulations that are applicable to the success of the "project" hypothesized by Mission 2006.

Create a model that maps out the applicable power and political infrastructure within Brazil and between Brazil and the international community. The model will include the following specifications.

	Basic format of the Brazilian Government
	Federal agencies/policies related to Amazonian interests
	State Government organization (of Amazonian states)
	State agencies related to Amazonian interests

Identify necessary target groups and create information packets for them.

	Groups with interests similar to that of Mission 2006
	Groups that may support the project hypothesized by Mission 2006.

Personal Focus:

My personal focus within the scope of team 1 is on the legal and political aspects of the Amazon project. Thus the information found here will pertain mostly to those fields.

Contact Information:

My E-mail is willr3@mit.edu. I check it at least once a day (usually at night though) and try to check it before Wednesday team meetings. However, with the way things are going now (in Mission) I'm going to start checking it around 3 times a day (p-sets permitting).
