Vol. 18 No. 2 Spring-Summer 2011 El Salvador Jewish Community Emerges From Centuries of Isolation and Assimilation By Rabbi Aaron Rehberg Introduction by the Editor In addition to the approximately 60 families which make up the mainstream Jewish community of El Sal- vador, there are three smaller groups of Jews living in the south-central part of the country in the towns of Armenia, San Salvador and Nauisalco. Here 260 men, women and children, most of whom are descended from Spanish/Portuguese émigrés fleeing the Spanish Inquisition, have embraced their Jewish roots and are following an orthodox life style. The rest are Jews by choice. For the past 12 years, community leaders have taken to the Internet to learn how to follow Jewish law, how to pray, how to celebrate Jewish holidays and how to prac- Rabbi Aaron Rehberg with El Salvadoran Jewish children.

Evidence and Ecology of Historic Human Settlements in Kibale National Park, Uganda
Human Ecology (2019) 47:765–775 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10745-019-00103-w Evidence and Ecology of Historic Human Settlements in Kibale National Park, Uganda Nathan S. Chesterman1,2 & Samuel Angedakin3,4 & Godfrey Mbabazi 4 & James Tibisimwa4 & Aaron A. Sandel4,5,6 Published online: 23 August 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Ecosystem conservation often focuses on protecting wild places, but many remote forests and expansive savannahs have a deep human history of ecosystem management. Here we document grinding stones in the center of a high conservation-value forest, Kibale National Park, Uganda, indicating a historic human presence. Grinding stones were found at a minimum density of one per 0.57 km2 and in a range of forest types. Ecological plots around grinding stones were dominated by late successional tree species, although forest structure was comparable to formerly logged areas of Kibale. Building a more comprehensive under- standing of human land-use before 1932, when protection policies began, will help explain current habitat heterogeneity. Future work should combine archaeology and ethnography to study the history and lifestyle of people who lived in Kibale. Understanding the role of people in this forest—and the role of the forest in local cultures—may elucidate contemporary ecology. Keywords Forest structure . Conservation . Anthropogenic . Regeneration . Archaeology . Grinding stones . Kibale national park . Uganda Introduction indigenous peoples (Denevan 1992).

Nationally Threatened Species for Uganda
Nationally Threatened Species for Uganda National Red List for Uganda for the following Taxa: Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Butterflies, Dragonflies and Vascular Plants JANUARY 2016 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research team and authors of the Uganda Redlist comprised of Sarah Prinsloo, Dr AJ Plumptre and Sam Ayebare of the Wildlife Conservation Society, together with the taxonomic specialists Dr Robert Kityo, Dr Mathias Behangana, Dr Perpetra Akite, Hamlet Mugabe, and Ben Kirunda and Dr Viola Clausnitzer. The Uganda Redlist has been a collaboration beween many individuals and institutions and these have been detailed in the relevant sections, or within the three workshop reports attached in the annexes. We would like to thank all these contributors, especially the Government of Uganda through its officers from Ugandan Wildlife Authority and National Environment Management Authority who have assisted the process. The Wildlife Conservation Society would like to make a special acknowledgement of Tullow Uganda Oil Pty, who in the face of limited biodiversity knowledge in the country, and specifically in their area of operation in the Albertine Graben, agreed to fund the research and production of the Uganda Redlist and this report on the Nationally Threatened Species of Uganda. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS PREAMBLE .......................................................................................................................................... 4 BACKGROUND ....................................................................................................................................
