Special Bulletin Nº 91 - February 2005 - (complete version)
Some 155,000 participants from 135 countries gathered in the World Social Forum (WSF) on January 26-31 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Under a burning sun, thousands of people moved in and out of hundreds of diverse tents spread along a lengthy coast belt by the Guaiba River. As diverse as the tents were the topics covered in the WSF.
Within that context, the World Rainforest Movement, working in collaboration with other social movements and organizations, organized a number of events -and participated in other relevant activities that took place in Porto Alegre.

Special Bulletin Nº 78 - January 2004 - (complete version)
The World Social Forum has become a global stage around which a plurality and diversity of visions and interests gather with the common objective of creating the conditions for "another possible world". WRM has been participating in this process from the start, and once again has taken active part in the IVth WSF held in Mumbai, India. This issue is entirely dedicated to the activities carried out by forest-related organizations to highlight the social aspect of the forests as a means of livelihood for forest and forest-dependant people, as well as the social impacts of their destruction and degradation.
