Dazhao[si]) and the Chinese Buddhist Guanyinsi. In it, I present a global view of the Buddhist revival of the Mongol monasteries of Hohhot since the 1980s, with a focus on the material culture—architecture, cult objects, and “decoration”—of the sites.

Great efforts have been made to curb soil erosion and restore the natural environment to Inner Mongolia in China. (e purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of returning farmland to the forest on soil erosion on a regional scale. Considering that rainfall erosivity also has an important impact on soil erosion, the effect of land use and land cover change (LUCC) on soil erosion was evaluated through scenario construction. Firstly, the universal soil loss equation (USLE) model was used to evaluate the actual soil erosion (2001 and 2010). Secondly, two scenarios (scenario 1 and scenario 2) were constructed by assuming that the land cover and rainfall-runoff erosivity are fixed, respectively, and soil erosion under different scenarios was estimated.

  • Environmental Mitigation and Regeneration Through Sustainable Farming and Food Security
    Scientific Research and Essay Vol.4 (8), pp. 773-779, August, 2009 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/SRE ISSN 1992-2248 © 2009 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Environmental mitigation and regeneration through sustainable farming and food security J. H. Pen-Mogi Nyeko Gulu University, P. O. Box 166, Gulu, Uganda. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]. Accepted 14 July, 2009 We recognized the farming practice of the communities around Keyo hills in Kilak, which is a complex and fragile ecosystem, as being purely dependent on annual food and cash crops production system and rain fed agriculture in nature. There are noticeable decline in food and cash crops production in the area. There are regular reported cases of mild to severe famine in the northern and eastern parts of Uganda. The community has resorted to overexploitation of natural resources such as charcoal burning and stone quarrying for daily subsistence. This practice is not sustainable and is environmentally destructive yet this hill is the main watershed that feeds rainwater to River Nile. Over the years, the rainfall pattern in the area has become unreliable due to environmental destruction. We designed a project that aimed at introducing perennial food and cash crops and improved livestock with high milk production to reduce poverty and ensure availability of food throughout the year. Another component of the project was to introduce the use of wood saving stoves or cooking places to reduce wastage of firewood and conserve trees. We supplied improved banana suckers to the communities to provide food security and income and with the help of Send a Cow; we received 57 in-calf heifers and 264 goats.
