A few days ago we started getting emails from you saying that the 1992 Rio Declaration (Agenda 21) had disappeared from the UN's website.
We checked and it was gone.
Yes, we do have it here and on the Post Sustainability Institute website. Both sites have source pages with links to pdf copies that we have on our server. Please copy it and then email the link to your local copy place if you want a paper copy.

Call the United Nations in New York and ask them why they took the site down.
UPDATE: I called the UN in New York and talked to several people including the UN librarian. The 'consensus' was that things change on the sites and 'disappear sometimes.' Here's the email I received:
