The dtudy' Tour on Forestr,r SUpport for Agriculture, whioh started on 11 August 1911 and ended on 13 September 1911, was one of these tours. The group oonsisted of three FAO staff members, including the Team Leader, and 15 senior offioers of 11 Asian and African M_ber Nations. The candidates from Malaysia, Uganda and Zambia had to canoel their trips at the last moment for various reasons. (For list of partioipants see Appendix I).

  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

  • Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People's Republic of China
    Report for U.S. Department of Justice LL File No. 2015-011997 Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People’s Republic of China March 2015 The Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center (202) 707-6462 (phone) • (866) 550-0442 (fax) • [email protected] • http://www.law.gov Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People’s Republic of China Staff of the Global Legal Research Center SUMMARY Members of the Uyghur ethnic group in China are identifiable by their Islamic religion, cultural heritage, traditional clothing, diet, language, and appearance. Uyghurs primarily reside in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of northwestern China. However, a 2010 population census found a total of 68,000 Uyghurs living in other areas of China as well. Despite legal protections for freedom of religion, speech, publication, assembly, association, procession, and demonstration, central and regional authorities are reportedly combating “religious extremism” in the XUAR as a means of maintaining stability, leading to concerns that the exercise of lawful rights is being restricted. Similarly, protections for ethnic minority languages and cultural identities are provided by the Constitution and a series of laws and regulations, and government authorities have been promoting “bilingual education” in the XUAR. However, some Uyghurs fear that the policy aims at assimilating young Uyghurs into Han Chinese society at the expense of their Uyghur identity. Violent clashes involving political or ethnic tensions in the XUAR or involving Uyghurs outside of the XUAR reportedly included attacks committed by Uyghurs, with attackers convicted in court of terror-related crimes. Rights advocates and analysts located outside of China, however, have raised concerns that authorities are using excessive force against Uyghur protesters and that officials fail to distinguish between violence and terrorism versus peaceful dissent.

Zhanjiang, 524088, China Abstract Dongting Lake area is one of the primary commodity grain bases in China, while the grain production there is suffering from serious harm of natural disaster such as flood, drought, pests and mouse damage. In general, the historical data recorded of natural disasters in small region are not enough to be used for estimating the probability distribution in risk assessment, because the size of the sample observed is smal1. In this study, the method “Information Diffusion” is used to change limited sample observations into fuzzy sets, and a quantitative analyzing model for natural disasters risk assessment is proposed. Based on the statistical data of grain planting area and hazard area during the period of 1986-2006 in Dongting Lake area, the probability of natural disaster risk of grain production was calculated by using the Information Diffusion Theory in each county. The results showed that the probabilities of natural disaster risk of the area hazard ratio (AHR) of grain production over 10% , 20%, 30%, 40% were between 0.3576̚0.9344, 0.0880̚0.8618, 0.0080̚0.7757, 0̚0.6569 respectively in different county. Meanwhile, the natural disaster risk assessment maps of grain production were obtained based on GIS.
