    April 2008 December 2008 28th Edition Mining in Protected Areas Wisdom or ..........? Growing tension between conservation and economic objectives remain a challenge to many countries! Development benefits flowing from protected areas and the need to reflect them in the plans and budgets of forestry, agriculture, energy, tourism, mining, fisheries and other economic sectors need environmental focus. Fundamentally, governments give overriding emphasis to economic growth as a goal in itself, and the critical dimensions of development relating to quality of life of the citizens tend to be sidelined. Some important attributes of protected areas which bring contentment, happiness, education, enjoyment and health to communities and wildlife fall outside an economic growth perspective.

By Kiarie Janet Wanja, 2012 iv ABSTRACT The study examines the impact of new entrants in the cement industry in Kenya. This study is guided by the following three research questions: (i) what is the impact of the new entrants on pricing of cement products? (ii) What is the impact of the new entrants on the market share of cement products? and (iii) What are the strategic responses by the existing cement companies on the new entrants? The study is modeled on descriptive design.
