*Sandra Brown of Winrock International: Tropical Deforestation and 
Carbon Credits *

Although tropical deforestation and forest degradation are significant 
contributors to total greenhouse gas emissions, activities to reduce 
such emissions are not accepted for generating creditable and marketable 
emissions reductions under the Kyoto Protocol. However, in the past two 
years or so, developing countries have united and proposed that with 
incentives such as carbon offset markets there are large opportunities 
to reduce these emissions.

*Internship Opportunities*

*1.  Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship*

* *

The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship, a program that provides college graduates the opportunity to work in Washington, DC, with a public-interest organization focusing on arms control and international security issues.  The fellowship is offered twice yearly, in the spring and fall.  It lasts from six to nine months and provides a stipend, health insurance, and travel costs to Washington.  The Scoville Fellowship does not award grant or scholarship money to students.

Scoville Fellows may undertake a variety of activities, including research, writing, and advocacy in support of the goals of their host organization and may attend coalition meetings, policy briefings, and Congressional hearings.  They have written fact sheets, letters to the editor, op eds, magazine articles, briefing books and reports, organized talks and conferences, and been interviewed as experts by the media.  Many former Scoville Fellows work for NGOs or the Federal Government, or attend graduate school in political science or international relations, following their fellowships.

Those interested in peace and security issues should visit our website at *http://www.scoville.org*.

* *

There is *no application form*; the application requirements are listed on the website, as are links to the websites of each of the twenty-five participating organizations and information on the work of current and former Scoville Fellows.  *Applications may be submitted via email*.  A flyer about the program can be printed from http://www.scoville.org/flyer.html.  The next *application deadline is February 15, 2008 at 5 PM EST *for the Fall 2008 Fellowship.

*2.  Eben Tisdale and Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowships in Washington D.C. *

The *Eben Tisdale Fellowship*, which includes a $5,000 grant, is a 
summer internship available to undergraduate and graduate students.  The 
program offers outstanding opportunities for students to learn about 
high tech public policy issues with hands-on experience in Washington, 
D.C.  Tisdale Fellowships are open to students from colleges and 
universities all over the country. 

The *Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship*, which includes one $5,000 grant 
for one student each year, is part of the Tisdale Fellowship program.  
Any student, undergraduate or graduate, who is interested in diversity 
and ethics issues, and in learning about high-tech public policy issues, 
can apply for this Fellowship.  

The application for both of these Fellowships is the same, except that 
those applying for the Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship will need to 
include an additional essay on diversity and ethics.

The Fellowship has two main elements:

(1) Internship:  Fellows do an eight-week internship in the government 
relations office of a leading high technology company or association.  
In the recent past, fellows have interned at such companies as *Agilent 
Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, Philips Electronics* and *Infotech 
Strategies* as well as associations such as the *Business Software 
Alliance*. 

2)  Issues Seminar:  The issues seminar is a weekly lunch hosted by the 
different sponsoring companies and associations.  Expert speakers lead 
discussions of current public policy issues in Washington, and the 
methods the high technology industry uses for effective advocacy. 

The *Summer 2008 Fellowship runs from June 16^th -- August 8^th , 2008*. 
The goal of the Fellowship is to create a supportive and collegial 
environment in which a new class of public policy professionals will be 
mentored to help ensure that the high-tech industry continues to have 
highly capable and well-trained individuals in both policy advocacy and 
senior management positions.

The *deadline* is Friday, *February 15, 2008*.
