Rainforest Partnership is an environmental organization based in Austin, Texas that works to help rainforest communities in Ecuador and Peru become economically self-sufficient, while educating communities in the United States about the role rainforests play in climate protection . It serves to link communities located in and around Latin American rainforests with partner communities in the United States.

The organization functions on a "collective model" in which "much depends on the active consent and ideas of the Latin American partners" describes Michael Barnes of the Austin American-Statesman .

175-441: A circle. Generally, a projective n-space is formed from antipodal pairs on a sphere in (n+1)-space; in this case the sphere is a circle in the plane. The real projective line is a complete projective range that is found in the real projective plane and in the complex projective line. Its structure is thus inherited from these superstructures. Primary among these structures is the relation of projective harmonic conjugates among

350-648: A stake in preserving their forests. The mission of a project depends on the nature of the forest and the local community, this includes creating a market in the United States for shade grown crops such as acai berries, cacao, or coffee, medicinal plants, palm trees or for crafts made by local artisans. Rainforest Partnership's first project, in Chipaota, Peru , involved creating a sustainable management plan for harvesting piassaba palms from which to make brooms. In some communities, such as Pampa Hermosa, Peru , it
385-403: A two-dimensional vector space over the reals. The automorphisms of a real projective line are called projective transformations , homographies , or linear fractional transformations . They form the projective linear group PGL(2, R ). Each element of PGL(2, R ) can be defined by a nonsingular 2×2 real matrix, and two matrices define the same element of PGL(2, R ) if one is the product of

#1732764891462420-453: Is a manifold . This can be seen by above construction through an equivalence relation, but is easier to understand by providing an atlas consisting of two charts The equivalence relation provides that all representatives of an equivalence class are sent to the same real number by a chart. Either of x or y may be zero, but not both, so both charts are needed to cover the projective line. The transition map between these two charts
455-422: Is an extension of the usual concept of a line that has been historically introduced to solve a problem set by visual perspective : two parallel lines do not intersect but seem to intersect "at infinity". For solving this problem, points at infinity have been introduced, in such a way that in a real projective plane , two distinct projective lines meet in exactly one point. The set of these points at infinity,
490-429: Is considered as a single point, or, in other words, a point is defined as being an equivalence class. If one chooses a basis of V , this amounts (by identifying a vector with its coordinate vector ) to identify V with the direct product R × R = R , and the equivalence relation becomes ( x , y ) ~ ( w , z ) if there exists a nonzero real number t such that ( x , y ) = ( tw , tz ) . In this case,

Projects aim to create and support sustainable economic alternatives to deforestation and give local communities
560-471: Is more appropriate to develop plans for sustainable logging and for ecotourism . In protecting cloud forests, as the project in Pampa Hermosa aims to do by introducing alternatives to deforestation, local communities are faced with a "win-win" situation according to Ken Young of UT Austin 's Geography department. Animals and wildlife are protected while the needs of local people go unharmed. Through
595-426: Is the multiplicative inverse . As it is a differentiable function , and even an analytic function (outside of zero), the real projective line is both a differentiable manifold and an analytic manifold . The inverse function of chart #1 is the map It defines an embedding of the real line into the projective line, whose complement of the image is the point [1: 0] . The pair consisting of this embedding and
630-422: Is the equivalence class [ x : y ] one says that ( x , y ) is a pair of projective coordinates of P . As P ( V ) is defined through an equivalence relation, the canonical projection from V to P ( V ) defines a topology (the quotient topology ) and a differential structure on the projective line. However, the fact that equivalence classes are not finite induces some difficulties for defining

700-399: The binary relation v ~ w to hold when there exists a nonzero real number t such that v = t w . The definition of a vector space implies almost immediately that this is an equivalence relation. The equivalence classes are the vector lines from which the zero vector has been removed. The real projective line P ( V ) is the set of all equivalence classes. Each equivalence class
735-434: The "horizon" of the visual perspective in the plane, is a real projective line. It is the set of directions emanating from an observer situated at any point, with opposite directions identified. An example of a real projective line is the projectively extended real line , which is often called the projective line. Formally, a real projective line P ( R ) is defined as the set of all one-dimensional linear subspaces of

805-428: The above, there is an induced faithful action of PGL 2 ( R ) on P ( R ) . For this reason, the group PGL 2 ( R ) may also be called the group of linear automorphisms of P ( R ) . Using the identification R ∪ ∞ → P ( R ) sending x to [ x :1] and ∞ to [1:0] , one obtains a corresponding action of PGL 2 ( R ) on R ∪ ∞ , which is by linear fractional transformations : explicitly, since

The circle of the unit vectors is, in the case of R , the set of the vectors whose coordinates satisfy x + y = 1 . This circle intersects each equivalence classes in exactly two opposite points. Therefore, the projective line may be considered as the quotient space of the circle by the equivalence relation such that v ~ w if and only if either v = w or v = − w . The projective line

The elements of GL 2 ( R ) that act trivially on P ( R ) are the nonzero scalar multiples of the identity matrix; these form a subgroup denoted R . The projective linear group is defined to be the quotient group PGL 2 ( R ) = GL 2 ( R )/ R . By

Matrix-vector multiplication defines a right action of GL 2 ( R ) on the space R of row vectors : explicitly, Since each matrix in GL 2 ( R ) fixes the zero vector and maps proportional vectors to proportional vectors, there is an induced action of GL 2 ( R ) on P ( R ) : explicitly, (Here and below,

1120-401: The projective line is called the projectively extended real line . Identifying the real line with its image by this embedding, one sees that the projective line may be considered as the union of the real line and the single point [1: 0] , called the point at infinity of the projectively extended real line, and denoted ∞ . This embedding allows us to identify the point [ x : y ] either with
1155-473: The real number x / y if y ≠ 0 , or with ∞ in the other case. The same construction may be done with the other chart. In this case, the point at infinity is [0: 1] . This shows that the notion of point at infinity is not intrinsic to the real projective line, but is relative to the choice of an embedding of the real line into the projective line. Points of the real projective line can be associated with pairs of antipodal points on
