Religion The first of many footprints to be stamped on Kenyan soil were left way back in 2000 BC by nomadic tribes from Ethiopia. A second group followed around 1000 BC and occupied much of central Kenya. The rest of the ancestors of the country's medley of tribes arrived from all over the continent between 500 BC and 500 AD. The Bantu-speaking people (such as the Gusii, Kikuyu, Akamba and Meru) arrived from West Africa while the Nilotic speakers (Maasai, Luo, Samburu and Turkana) came from the Nile Valley in southern Sudan. As tribes migrated throughout the interior, Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula and Shirazis from Persia (now Iran) settled along the East African coast from the 8th century AD onwards. Drawn by the whiff of spices and money, the Portuguese started sniffing around in the 15th century. After venturing further and further down the western coast of Africa, Vasco da Gama finally rounded the Cape of Good Hope and headed up the continent's eastern coast in 1498. Seven years later, the Portuguese onslaught on the region began. By the 16th century, most of the indigenous Swahili trading towns, including Mombasa, had been either sacked or occupied by the Portuguese - marking the end of the Arab monopoly of Indian Ocean trade. The Portuguese settled in for a long period of harsh colonial rule, playing one sultan off against another. But their grip on the coast was always tenuous because their outposts had to be supplied from Goa in India. The Arabs won control of the coast back in 1720.

Extractions: In Venezuela's southwest, the Canaima National Reserve in Bolivar State, is home to the Pemon people; around twenty-one thousand people, distributed along three different Caribe linguistic groups: Arekuna, Taure Pam and Kumaracoto. As with most indigenous peoples, they have been subjected to a colonization process that, regrettably, threatens to destroy their culture and society. Since the 90s, the Pemon had to confront the hardest struggles they can remember in recent history: the construction of a power grid that crosses their territory, bringing profit to mining corporations; the imminent construction of a hotel complex on their lands by the Turisur corporation; and the soon to be aproved decree that would allow mining and logging the Imataca mountain range, an unique natural reserve, and home to this people. On top of all that, a new conflict arose that threatens their worldview and cultural identity: the removal of their sacred

Extractions: Destinations To this day, East Africa remains the finest wildlife paradise on earth. Travelling through landscapes of staggering beauty, witnessing the fascinating traditional lifestyles of the indigenous peoples, living among the spectacular herds of game and sleeping under canvas beneath the vast African sky, stimulates all the senses; the never-to-be-forgotten experiences that provoke moments of profound reflection. As Mick Jagger wrote in our guest book, it Took me back. Africa takes people back to their roots, to childhood dreams of striped horses, spotted cats, and giraffe, creatures impossible to believe until you see them in their natural habitat, in the landscape where our own kind began. Robin Hurt Photo Safaris supports sustainable ecotourism and to this end we patronize community group ranches that promote conservation in such areas as Il Ngwesi and Namunyak in northern Kenya. Both Kenya and Tanzania are acclaimed for their political stability; the people are helpful and friendly, and officials, polite and courteous.

Extractions: (Wadhamini wa jumuiya ya Waswahili) "The Swahili are among the most distinctive peoples in Africa, and their coastal location is the primary reason why. It provided a setting where multiple cultural influences came together to produce a society characterized by: mercantilism based on Indian Ocean trade; town dwelling; a unique architecture using coral and stone; Islam; literacy in an African language with an Arabic script; a sense of belonging to a wider civilization; and social stratification, with ruling elites who stress their Persian and Arab lineages. Influences from southwestern Asia have clearly been significant to Swahili identity, but it is equally obvious that the Asian elements are essentially a veneer glued onto a solid Bantu African framework." James L. Newman in his recent book called THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA (Yale University Press, 1995 P. 177) The Bantu peoples are many and varied and exist in different clusters of fairly closely related tribes. According to Newman, the Swahilis constituted part of the Sabaki cluster of Northeast Coast Bantu that had formed in the Lower Tana River-Lamu Archipelago. From the original Sabaki who lived in small coastal or offshore-island villages where they could both fish and farm, some Sabaki took up a trading activity with merchants from the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf. This trade has by all accounts been going on for at least some 2000 years.

To be classified as beneficials, these products should come from plants that grow well on poor quality land, i.e. do not compete with crop land, they should not act as weeds, they should not support crop pests, and the products should be easily prepared. Some degree of success in the commercial production of these materials has been attained, e.g. rotenone, pyrethrum, nicotine, and neem. Usually, however, these are quite expensive when purchased on the open market. Cheaper when on-farm produced. Commercial plantations are not without pest problems. Tephrosia, for example, suffers from insects, nematodes, damping off, and problems with seed production. Even pyrethrum plants suffer from nematode problems in the foliage. Recently, neem has been hit with severe root rot problems. Further, identification of the active compound(s) in these plants is illusive and very expensive to pursue.
