“As a tribute to York, I found
it hard to let go o f the role, keep
ing my beard and long hair for
some time after the production
ended,” he said.
Since then, Tyler is continuing
forward on his long time goal of
writing, producing, and direct
ing.
Recently, he finished two new
scripts: One a religious satirical
comedy, and the other a story of
a Louisiana fighter in the 1960s

Tyler likes to “sink his teeth into
roles that touch people.”
He also expressed an interest
in films or roles “in areas like
history that can educate children
and make a difference in their
lives.” Tyler plans to play a small
role in each o f his films. His quick
wit, affection for African Ameri
can history, and his diverse back
ground in terms o f writing, act
ing, directing and producing make
him a player to keep an eye on in
the future. His sense of working
in films that focus both on educa
tion and depicting great charac
ters of history help us savor that
which should never be forgot

Cardoso signed a decree creating
the Tumucumaque (too-moo-koo-
M AH-kee) Mountains National Park
covering a virtually uninhabited re
gion o f virgin rainforest in Amapa
state, along Brazil’s northern bor
ders with Surinam and Guyana.
Tumucumaque, which means
“the rock on top of the mountain”
in the language of the Apalai and
Wayana Indians, covers 9.6 mil
lion acres of forest-blanketed moun
tains with granite outcroppings
rising up to 2,300 feet above the
forest canopy.
“ W ith the c re a tio n o f
Tum ucum aque M ountains N a
tional Park, we are ensuring the
protection of one of the most pris
tine forests remaining in the world,”
Cardoso said. “Plants and animals
that may be endangered elsewhere
will continue to thrive in our for
ests forever.”
The move is one of several envi
ronmental measures the govern
ment is preparing ahead of the World
Summit on Sustainable Develop
ment, which started on Monday in
Johannesburg, South Africa.
Cardoso also signed several
laws regulating the use of genetic
material gathered from Brazil’s im
mense variety of plant and animal
species.
At the 10-day summit, Cardoso
is expected to announce the Ama
zon Region Protected Areas pro
gram, putting nearly 200,000square
m iles— including Tumucumaque
— under federal protection in na
tional parks and sustainable de
velopment reserves.
Tumucumaque park is 568,000
acres larger than Sionga National
Park in the Democratic Republ ic o f •
Congo, previously the world’s larg
est tropical park.
