AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ian B. Edwards for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on April 30. 2003. Title: The Fetish Market and Animal Parts Trade of Mali. West Africa: An Ethnographic Investigation into Cultural Use and Significance. Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy David While much research has examined the intricate interactions associated with the harvesting of wild animals for human consumption, little work has been undertaken in attempting to understand the greater socio-cultural significance of such use. In addition, to properly understand such systems of interaction, an intimate knowledge is required with regard to the rationale or motivation of resource users. In present day Mali, West Africa, the population perceives and upholds wildlife as a resource not only of valuable animal protein, in a region of famine and drought, but a means of generating income. The animal parts trade is but one mechanism within the larger socio-cultural structure that exploits wildlife through a complex human-environmental system to the benefit of those who participate. Moreover, this informal, yet highly structured system serves both cultural and outsider demand through its goods and services. By using traditional ethnographic investigation techniques (participant observation and semi-structured interviews) in combination with thick narration and multidisciplinary analysis (socio- cultural and biological-environmental), it is possible to construct a better understanding of the functions, processes, and motivation of those who participate. In a world where there is butonlya limited supply of natural and wild resources, understanding human- environmental systems is of critical value. ©Copyright by Ian B. -
A Review of the Birimian Supergroup- and Tarkwaian Group-Hosted Gold Deposits of Ghana

The vein- and sulphide-hosted gold is strongly a region with over 2,500 years of history with regards to associated with deformational fabrics formed by the gold production and trade. Modern exploration for and Eburnean extensional and compressional events, mining of gold in Ghana dates from 1874 with the respectively, suggesting that disseminated sulphide establishment of the British Gold Coast Colony, which mineralisation predates quartz vein-hosted was followed in 1957 by the independence of Ghana and mineralisation. The fluid from which the gold precipitated increased gold production since the early 1980s through is believed to have been of metamorphic origin and Ghana’s Economic Recovery Plan. At the time of writing, carbon dioxide (CO2) dominated, with lesser water (H2O) gold production (108.2 tonnes or 3.48 million ounces and nitrogen (N2) and minor methane (CH4). Gold [Moz] in 2014) accounted for approximately one-third precipitation was probably caused by decrease in of Ghana’s export revenues, with 36% of gold production pressure, temperature and CO2-H2O immiscibility, at coming from small-scale mining. -

Situation analysis Description of the disaster In February 2014, there was an outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Guinea, which spread to Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone, and most recently Mali, causing untold hardship and hundreds of deaths in these countries. As of 10 November 2014, a total of 14,490 cases, and 5,546 deaths had been recorded, which were attributed to the EVD. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), an outbreak of the EVD was also reported, but is considered of a different origin than that which has affected West Africa. Mali, with a population of 14.8m (UNDP 2012) shares a border with Guinea, which has been especially affected by the EVD, and therefore the risks presented by the epidemic to the country are high. Summary of response Overview of Host National Society On 19 April 2014, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) released CHF 57,715 from the Disaster Relief and Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Mali Red Cross Society (MRCS) with EVD preparedness activities for a period of three months specifically in the areas of Bamako, Kayes, Koulikoro and Sikasso. -

Benjamin The Texture of Change: Cloth Commerce and History in West Africa, 1700-1850 Abstract This study re-examines historical change in western Africa during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the lens of cotton textiles; that is by focusing on the production, exchange and consumption of cotton cloth, including the evolution of clothing practices, through which the region interacted with other parts of the world. It advances a recent scholarly emphasis to re-assert the centrality of African societies to the history of the early modern trade diasporas that shaped developments around the Atlantic Ocean. -

While the western branch of the Diakhanke in Senegambia and Guinea has received much attention from researchers2, the southern branch of mori lineages with their imamates extending from Dia/Djenne up the river Bani and its branches have been almost ignored. It has established centres of learning along the major southern trade routes and in the Sassandra- Bandama-Comoë-Volta river basins up to the Akan frontier3. The Kamaghate imamate has been established with the Gonja in the Volta basin but can be traced back to the Jula/Soninke of Begho, Kong, Samatiguila, Odienne and ultimately to the region of Djenne and Dia. -
