  • Biodiversity: Science & Religion
    Policy Foresight Programme Director: Sir Crispin Tickell Record of the Workshop on Biodiversity: Science & Religion 2 November 2007 James Martin Institute University of Oxford Policy Foresight Programme Biodiversity: Science & Religion 2 November 2007 James Martin Institute University of Oxford Contact: [email protected] Synopsis A day-long seminar was held at the James Martin Institute for Science and Civilization on Biodiversity: Science and Religion on 2 November 2007. The seminar was designed to bring together scientists and religious leaders to promote better understanding in both communities of the vital importance of conserving biodiversity. Biographies of the main speakers are attached. Sir Crispin Tickell welcomed the participants and gave a brief explanation of the Policy Foresight Programme. He said that the present seminar had first been suggested by Mr Alex Kirby, following on from a seminar on the same subject in the United States in January 2007. The initiative for the US seminar had led to a public statement entitled An Urgent Call to Action: Scientists and Evangelicals Unite to Protect Creation , signed by leaders from both communities. The initiative for the US seminar had in turn come from Professor E O Wilson at Harvard who had written about the subject in his book The Creation . Professor Wilson had originally intended to attend the Oxford seminar in the course of a visit to Britain, but in the event he had been obliged to cancel the visit. Nonetheless he sent his best wishes to the Oxford seminar. The first speaker was Professor Richard Fortey who gave an overview of convergent threats to the natural world and prospects for the future.

    INVESTIGATING PEOPLE-FOREST RELATIONSHIPS AROUND CENTRAL KENYA’S NYANDARWA FOREST RESERVE: UNDERSTANDING THEIR SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS by Gloria Kendi Borona B.E.S., Kenyatta University, 2004 M.B.A., University of Nairobi, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Forestry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2017 © Gloria Kendi Borona, 2017 Abstract This study explored how people-forest relationships are forged around Kenya’s Nyandarwa Forest Reserve, and how Indigenous Knowledge Systems of Agĩkũyũ people around the Reserve might contribute to healthy, sustainable people-forest relationships in light of the country’s changing social, economic, and political situations. The study sought to examine:1) how the indigenous communities around Nyandarwa Forest Reserve traditionally understood and sustained interdependencies with the forest; 2) how these interdependencies have transformed consistent with Kenya’s post- independence changes in social, economic, and political situations; 3) to what extent local, national, and international efforts to promote healthy sustainable people-forest relationships are incorporating local communities’ Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS); and, 4) how these communities’ IKS might inform the proposition of an environmental conservation framework for sustainable people-forest relationships. The study was guided by post-colonial indigenous research paradigms anchored in decolonizing methodologies. These methodologies were buttressed by indigenous theories that consider communities as spiritual beings with multiple relations. The study was informed by the traditions and cultural heritage of the Agĩkũyũ people, and augmented by Afrocentric philosophies that underlie African ways of knowing and value systems.
