The emphasis of the exhibition is to show the significance of the loss of medicinal plants and diseases of and from deforestation particularly because hitherto not much attention had been given to the impending rainforest catastrophe. It is generally accepted that medicinal plants provide the raw materials for at least 25 % of allotrophic western drugs.

Extractions: Nairobi, Kenya, 9-13 December 2002 Secondary forests currently constitute a large proportion of the forest cover in Africa. If properly managed they have the potential to provide important environmental benefits and contribute significantly to poverty alleviation especially in rural communities. They can also reduce the pressure on the few remaining areas of primary forest. Unfortunately, the management of secondary forests has not been given significant attention in most African countries with the result that secondary forests are not part of forest management systems. It is for this reason that FAO, in collaboration with ICRAF and CIFOR and with financial support from the Governments of the Netherlands and Germany, organized a workshop to draw the attention of all stakeholders to the need and potential of the sustainable management of secondary forests in Africa. This background paper highlights some main issues on secondary forests as a basis for discussion during the workshop. The issues include the concept of secondary forests, causes and functions of secondary forests, typology and extent, potential of secondary forests as well as the socio-cultural, ecological, technical and politico-institutional aspects of secondary forest management.

The future of medicinal plants in Africa depends on positive steps being taken to protect and conserve the resources before it is too late. Medicinal plants have always been of interest to communities in such countries since they use these plants on a daily basis. Modern medicine is also showing growing interest in medicinal plants resulting in a rise of demand for such products in the developed world.

Extractions: The North African sub-region includes six countries, namely Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia. These countries are members of the League of Arab States, and the Organization for Agricultural Development (AOAD), which aims at developing the agricultural sector of its member countries. All North African countries, except Mauritania, are part of the Mediterranean eco-region. However, most parts of the sub-region are deserts or semi-deserts covered by drought resistant shrublands (e.g. Acacia spp., Argania spinosa , palms, alpha grass). Forests mainly cover the northern mountainous parts of the region. The forest cover in North Africa ranges from nine percent in Morocco and less than one percent in Mauritania, Libya and Egypt. Main forest species include Pinus spp., Abies spp., Juniperus spp, Quercus spp. and Populus spp. . Most of the lowland forests (e.g. Quercus suber ) have already been cleared. Forest vegetation has been replaced with open woodlands (e.g. Pine or Thuya woodlands) or maquis, an evergreen short tree, and shrub community.

Extractions: Web address: For other permissions, use our online reprint request form The power dynamics of the global academy are such that Western researchers and institutions control the dissemina-tion of knowledge, often excluding from recognition and val-orization research by African scholars. This article advocates the reworking of existing fora and the creation of new fora that would provide for the inclusion of African scholars in global academic conversations My presentation is in two parts: the first part contests the power base of local folklore and the strategic production, dissemination, and consumption of knowledge. Here I look at the study of African folklore in the local and global academies as well as the crisis confronting the indigenous scholar in attempting to globalize local knowledge. The second part, which maintains the juxtaposition of the local and the global, shifts emphasis from a crisis in epistemology to a crisis in the local ethnography of communication, as Africa gropes its way through what has become known as a "global village."

Increasingly, social science, physical science, business and education theory and practice have to deal with issues of difference and diversity. Within this context, previously marginalized areas of study are becoming more central to the academy. It is incumbent upon educators to introduce students to non-dominant perspectives, since students effectiveness as future decision-makers will be impacted by diverse and multiple perspectives gained through education.

Academic Dean, International Theological Seminary, Accra, Ghana Note : Links for the endnotes do not work so this article is also available as pdf Introduction The impact of the combined missionary effort was to result in the population of Ghana, which, by the 20 th century, was largely Christian. [i] The extent to which the population was truly Christianized has, however, come under some scrutiny since the discovery, by the Ghana Evangelism Committee, that nominalism is the greatest problem of Christianity in Ghana. [ii] The western worldview, which informed the classification of African Traditional Religion, by the missionaries, as heathen, pagan, primitive, unscientific and the superstitious beliefs of uncultured people, is largely blamable. In the early days of the introduction of Christianity to the Gold Coast, to convert to the Christian faith meant a complete denigration of ones past to accept a God who was largely alien to the culture of the African past.
