This book was released on 2000 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reporting on a research project, environmental economists, most from York University, offer case studies of the economic causes of biodiversity loss in a range of ecosystems, including wetlands, montane forests, tropical moist forests, semi-arid savannas, and lakes, discussing the policy options for conserving biodiversity in each case. They also analyze in detail the environmental consequences of policy reform in Ghana on the large and small scale, and present practical recommendations for implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity. Among the other areas they consider are the Hadejiia-Nguru wetlands of northern Nigeria, Nyae Nyae in Namibia, the Marsabit Forest Reserve, and demersal and gillnet fisheries in Malawi.

This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on case studies in Southern Africa, West Africa and East Africa, this book revisits some of the dilemmas and paradoxes associated with the development, management and utilisation of environmental resources, as well as lacklustre official handling of climate change-related challenges, in Sub-Saharan Africa. On the subject of natural resource exploitation, in particular, the book revisits scholarly debates and specific practices around compensation, benefit- and burden-sharing, local participation and space-place dynamics. It highlights fundamental ambiguities in the ways the dominant discourses and policy responses have been framed and mobilised, and examines epistemic and ideational incongruences that have hobbled and sometimes negated the effectiveness of otherwise well-intentioned interventions. On climate change, the book revisits debates around the vulnerability-assets nexus with regard to mitigation and adaptation, as well as the intersection of climate information and livelihoods in agro-based settings. The contradictions, gaps and limitations of climate change policies and strategies in different regions are re-examined based on new data. In the last few years, the Environment and Natural Resources Working Group of the South African Sociological Association (SASA) has intensified efforts to go beyond the annual SASA Congresses and the production of journal articles, in making the research agendas of its members more visible to the global scholarly and policy community. This book is one result of such efforts. It calls for a constant questioning of orthodoxies and the promotion of ethnographically sensitive and epistemologically nuanced scholarly and policy approaches to developmental challenges in Africa, especially in relation to environmental resources and environmental change.

Download or read book Sub Saharan Africa written by Gregory H. Maddox and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-03-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wealth of information and analysis on the environmental forces that have helped shaped the cultures of the African continent. A scholarly reference work that will also appeal to the general reader, Sub-Saharan Africa sets the story of the African environment within the context of geological time and shows how the continent's often harsh conditions prompted humans to develop unique skills in agriculture, animal husbandry, and environmental management. Part of ABC-CLIO's Nature and Human Societies series, this book enables readers to better grasp the extent of humanity's effect on our world. Of particular interest are the book's sections dealing with the impact of the Biafran famine of the 1960s, the Sahelian drought of the 1970s, population growth, and the ongoing challenges of war and HIV/AIDS. Crucially, the book also shows how, despite their relative poverty, many African states have coped admirably with rapid urbanization and have developed world-class conservation and sustainability programs in order to protect and harness some of the most endangered species in the world.
