Small ruminant genetic resources (SRGR) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) play an important role in the welfare of the people, especially the resource poor. SSA is endowed with a diverse SRGR maintained under equally diverse and complex production systems. The public and the private sectors are key act...

The response of bird communities to a gradient of agricultural intensity was investigated in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Such knowledge may aid in predicting how avian diversity copes with increased human population density and land-use. A total of 34 transects were established on which bird cen...

Mozambique’s Niassa Reserve contains Africa’s best preserved miombo woodlands. Half of the households there gather wild honey from natural hives for consumption and income. However, most collectors used destructive techniques: setting fire to the grasses under the hive tree to create smoke and...

This CD-ROM strives to be a state of the art compilation of key documents on Cameroon's forests in the course of the last two decades--forests that have been subject to numerous reforms concerning management, conservation and forest policy.


Project report on the conservation of animal genetic resources. Remedies for conservation of domestic breeds in danger of extinction, as well as animal genetic resources in general are proposed. Annexes on comparisons of the breed situation in Corsica and Sardinia in cattle, sheep, goats, pigs an...

The complex dynamic interactions between land resources and society have to be taken into account when planning land use and managing land resources. Simulation models and participatory modeling can be ideal tools to improve our understanding of these complex interactions. For several decades, la...

Costa Rica was the first developing country to have implemented a nation-wide program of payments for environmental services. We analyze whether the efficiency of the program could be increased through better targeting techniques and propose a targeting mechanism which takes into account the spat...
