Deforestation Trends in the Congo Basin Large Portion of Africa’S Biodiversity The Congo Basin‘s forests represent 70 percent of the African continent’s forest cover and constitute a Basin in the Congo Trends Deforestation large portion of Africa’s biodiversity. Although deforestation rates in the basin are among the lowest in the tropical rainforest belt and significantly below most other African regions, this situation is projected to change. Local and regional development, demographic trends, and global demand for commodities are likely to increase internal and external pressures on natural capital. The countries of the Congo Basin—Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo—stand at a crossroads. They face the need Public Disclosure Authorized to develop local economies and reduce poverty, but they also seek to limit the negative impacts of growth on their natural resources. The area’s forests are home to 30 million people and support livelihoods for more than 75 million people from over 150 ethnic groups. Forestry is a major economic sector, providing jobs and local subsistence from timber and non-timber products and contributing significantly to export and fiscal revenues. These countries are not yet locked into a development path that will necessarily come at a high cost to forests. They can define a new path toward forest-friendly growth. The issue is how to accompany economic change with smart measures and policy choices so that the countries can sustain and benefit from their extraordinary natural assets over the long term. Public Disclosure Authorized Deforestation Trends in the Congo Basin: Reconciling Economic Growth and Forest Protection analyzes the Megevand Doetinchem, Streck Hourticq, Sanders, with Mosnier, current and anticipated pressures exerted by the different sectors of agriculture, transport, energy, extractive industries, and logging on the Congo Basin‘s forests. It highlights policy options and DIRECTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT opportunities to develop strategies fostering sustainable development while protecting the natural and Environment and Sustainable Development cultural heritage of the region. These opportunities include participatory land use planning, strengthening regional institutions, improving law enforcement, fostering multisectoral coordination, expanding sustainable forest management principles, and setting high standards for the extractive industries. “This study shows that a transition to a low and degraded forest cover is possible, but not a fatality. Deforestation Trends We have tools at our disposal to act in a targeted, forest-friendly way, by reconciling economic growth and forest preservation. Now is the time to make a strong stand in favor of sustainable development.” Public Disclosure Authorized in the Congo Basin Raymond Mbitikon, Executive Secretary, Central Africa Forests Commission (COMIFAC) Reconciling Economic Growth and Forest Protection Carole Megevand THE WORLD BANK with Aline Mosnier, Joël Hourticq, ISBN 978-0-8213-9742-8 Klas Sanders, Nina Doetinchem, and Charlotte Streck Public Disclosure Authorized SKU 19742 Deforestation Trends in the Congo Basin Deforestation Trends in the Congo Basin Reconciling Economic Growth and Forest Protection Carole Megevand with Aline Mosnier, Joël Hourticq, Klas Sanders, Nina Doetinchem, and Charlotte Streck © 2013 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank 1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000; Internet: www.worldbank.org Some rights reserved 1 2 3 4 16 15 14 13 This work is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.

Med Moisture transport into the Ethiopian Highlands av Ellen Viste och Asgeir Sorteberg (2011) som grund syftar denna uppsats till att jämföra samma data men genom att titta på ett mycket kortare intervall för att se vad som försummas när undersökningar på större skalor utförs. Medan undersökningen av Viste och Sorteberg (2011) fokuserar på de två regnrikaste månaderna, juli och augusti under elva år, 1998-2008, så fokuserar denna uppsats enbart på juli år 2008. Syftet med denna uppsats var att se vart nederbörden till det Etiopiska höglandet kommer ifrån under juli månad 2008. För att undersöka detta så har man valt att titta på parametrar såsom horisontell- och vertikal vindriktning på olika höjder samt fukt- innehållet i dessa vindar. Som grund för undersökningen så har denna uppsats, likt Vistes och Sortebergs, använt ERA-Interim data.

Much of this is the result of the cliometric turn in African economic history, what some have called a `renaissance'. Whilst acknowledging that cliometrics is not new to African history, this chapter examines the major recent contributions, noting their methodological advances and dividing them into four broad themes: persistence of deep traits, slavery, colonialism and independence. We conclude with a brief bibliometric exercise, noting the lack of Africans working at the frontier of African cliometrics. Keywords. Africa, history, poverty, reversal of fortunes, sub-Saharan, trade, slavery, colonialism, missionaries, independence ∗This paper is prepared for the Handbook of Cliometrics. The authors would like to thank Michiel de Haas and Felix Meier zu Selhausen for extensive comments, the editors Claude Diebolt and Michael Haupert for helpful advice, and Tim Ngalande for excellent research support.

  • Empty Forests, Empty Stomachs? Bushmeat and Livelihoods in the Congo and Amazon Basins
    International Forestry Review Vol.13(3), 2011 355 Empty forests, empty stomachs? Bushmeat and livelihoods in the Congo and Amazon Basins R. NASI1, A. TABER1 and N. VAN VLIET2 1Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Jalan CIFOR, Situ Gede, Sindang Barang, Bogor 16680, Indonesia 2Department of Geography and Geology, University of Copenhagen, Oster Voldgade 10, 1350 Copenhagen K, Denmark Email: [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] SUMMARY Protein from forest wildlife is crucial to rural food security and livelihoods across the tropics. The harvest of animals such as tapir, duikers, deer, pigs, peccaries, primates and larger rodents, birds and reptiles provides benefits to local people worth millions of US$ annually and represents around 6 million tonnes of animals extracted yearly. Vulnerability to hunting varies, with some species sustaining populations in heavily hunted secondary habitats, while others require intact forests with minimal harvesting to maintain healthy populations. Some species or groups have been characterized as ecosystem engineers and ecological keystone species. They affect plant distribution and structure ecosystems, through seed dispersal and predation, grazing, browsing, rooting and other mechanisms. Global attention has been drawn to their loss through debates regarding bushmeat, the “empty forest” syndrome and their ecological importance. However, information on the harvest remains fragmentary, along with understanding of ecological, socioeconomic and cultural dimensions. Here we assess the consequences, both for ecosystems and local livelihoods, of the loss of these species in the Amazon and Congo basins. Keywords: bushmeat, livelihoods, forest, Amazon, Congo Forêts vides, estomacs vides? Viande de brousse et condition de vie dans les bassins du Congo et de l’Amazone.

  • Botswana (The Shining Jewel of Africa) Introduction Location Geography
    Botswana (The Shining Jewel of Africa) Introduction The country of Botswana is unique among the other African nations. Since its independence, Botswana has been able to make economic progress when so many African countries have failed. Now, it is considered the shining jewel of Africa due to its rapid economic progress. However, Botswana is a country of contrast and this jewel of Africa does not shine as bright for some as it does for others. Location The country of Botswana, which is slightly smaller than Texas, is located in southeast Africa. The area of the country of Botswana is 600,370 square kilometers, of which only 15,000 square kilometers is covered by water. It straddles the Tropic of Capricorn and lays between latitudes 17 and 27 and longitudes 20 and 30 east. Botswana borders Namibia to its north and west, Zimbabwe to its northeast and east, and South Africa to its south and southeast. The most prominent feature of Botswana’s location is that it is completely landlocked. Geography/Topography The terrain located within the borders of Botswana ranges from flat land to gently rolling hills. The lowest point in Botswana is located at the junction of the Limpopo River and Shashe River at the height of 513 meters. In contrast, the highest point is located in the Tsodilo Hills at 1,489 meters high. The Kalahari Desert is located in the southwest corner of the country. During the month of August, the wind blows from the west and there is an increased chance of it carrying sand and dust particles from this desert into populated areas.

    The Making of Concessions: Traditional Authorities, Transnational Capital, and Territorialized Identities in Africa By Rebecca Hardin Paper presented to the Environmental Politics Seminar UC Berkeley, April 27 2007 Draft: please do not cite, nor reproduce Note: This paper presents a framework I am developing for a book project tentatively entitled “Concessionary Cultures.” I am currently revising the project for the University of California Press series “Colonialisms.” The opportunity to benefit from the EP seminar discussion is very welcome. In developing this to date I have incurred intellectual debts to the following readers: Arun Agrawal, Susan E. Cook, Jane Guyer, Alain Karsenty, Damani Partridge, John Galaty, Nahomi Ichino, Eduardo Kohn, Nadine Naber, Devra Meuller, Abena Osseo-Assare, Lorraine Paterson, Beth Povinelli, Hugh Raffles, Jesse Ribot, Mary Steedly, Miriam Ticktin, Diana Wylie,and an anonymous reviewer for the University of California Press. The research support of McGill University, the University of Michigan, and the Harvard Academy of International and Area Studies has been crucial, 1 Nestled within the Dzanga Sangha Dense Forest Reserve and Dzanga Ndoki National Park, the small town of Bayanga is the largest settlement in that southernmost triangle of the Central African Republic (CAR) that borders Cameroon and the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville). The establishment (1988) and subsequent legislation (1991) of the Park and Reserve (which I’ll refer to at the RDS) created one of the last protected areas established in the CAR, and one of only two sizeable forest reserves in that country. Conducting research on the role of tourism and trophy hunting in the management of this protected area found me sitting one evening with a pair of professional trophy hunters over the cocktails they call “sundowners.” During their hunts with clients that week, they complained, they had found abundant evidence of poaching, and they feared that too many of the animal trophies they sought might be marred by scars from wire snares.

All rights reserved Hermatypic Coral Fauna of Subtropical Southeast Africa: A Checklist! 2 BERNHARD RrnGL ABSTRACT: The South African hermatypic coral fauna consists of 96 species in 42 scleractinian genera, one stoloniferous octocoral genus (Tubipora), and one hermatypic hydrocoral genus (Millepora). There are more species in southern Mozambique, with 151 species in 49 scleractinian genera, one stolo­ niferous octocoral (Tubipora musica L.), and one hydrocoral (Millepora exaesa [Forskal)). The eastern African coral faunas of Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa are compared and Southeast Africa dis­ tinguished as a biogeographic subregion, with six endemic species. Patterns of attenuation and species composition are described and compared with those on the eastern boundaries of the Indo-Pacific in the Pacific Ocean.

  • Southeast Africa by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for Office of Naval Research – Code 322 PO
    An Atlas of Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves (February 2004) Southeast Africa by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for Office of Naval Research – Code 322 PO Southeast Africa Overview Southeast Africa extends northward from the east coast of South Africa (34oS, 28oE) up along the Mozambique coast bordering the Mozambique Channel (18oS, 36oE)(Figure 1). A significant continental shelf exists in the areas around Maputo Bay and Bight of Sofala. The region is influenced by the flow of the warm Agulhas current. Figure 1. Bathymetry of Southeast Africa [Smith and Sandwell, 1997] Observations There has been some scientific research on internal wave occurrences along Southeast Africa. Preliminary work using satellite imagery by da Silva shows wave occurrences around Maputo Bay (Figures 3 and 4). The shoreward propagating waves were aligned roughly parallel with the eastern edge of the shelf. The wavelength of the leading soliton is on the order 543 An Atlas of Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves (February 2004) Southeast Africa by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for Office of Naval Research – Code 322 PO of 1.5 to 2.0 km, with a packet separation of 35 to 40 km. Assuming semi-diurnal generation, this yields a propagation speed of 0.75 to 1.0 m/s. These values are all consistent with continental shelf generated internal waves observed elsewhere in the world. Figure 2 shows an internal wave signature propagating in the along shore direction along with strong current signatures. This suggests that the Aghulas flow have some effect on wave generation in the area. Table 1 shows the months of the year when internal wave observations have been made.
