A dam may not be forever, even if constructions like the Hoover Dam are expected to survive for a thousand years. A dam's environmental and social impacts, though, are enormous, extensive and essentially irreversible.

Every year that moveable feast, known as the SEJ Conference Saturday night reception, rolls out its local talent and regional cuisine. Veteran conference-goers still speak in hushed tones of the 2003 party at New Orleans' Mardi Gras World and gyrate at the thought of 2004 in Pittsburgh with "No Bad Ju-Ju."
This year, the Vermont conference team promises to take the concept of "local" to a new level, thanks to this event's sponsorship by co-host the University of Vermont.
Dentro de las actividades prioritarias de REMPA, hay una serie de cuatro conferencias de prensa sobre la conservación de bosques, por el cual la red colabora con el International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) y la Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ). Esto es posible gracias a los fondos de la Fundación Ford disponibles hasta mediados del año 2008.
Los miembros de SEJ contemplan una sociedad informada por excelencia en periodismo del ambiente.
La misión de la Sociedad de Periodistas Ambientales (SEJ) es avanzar la comprensión del publico sobre tópicos de ambiente para mejorar la calidad, la exactitud, y la visibilidad de periodismo del ambiente.
