Extractions: Introduction ... Transnational Issue Introduction Saint Helena Background: Uninhabited when first discovered by the Portuguese in 1502, Saint Helena was garrisoned by the British during the 17th century. It acquired fame as the place of Napoleon BONAPARTE's exile, from 1815 until his death in 1821, but its importance as a port of call declined after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. Ascension Island is the site of a US Air Force auxiliary airfield; Gough Island has a meteorological station.

Extractions: Encyclopedia Africa The continent's largest rivers are the Nile (the world's longest river), the Congo, the Niger, the Zambezi, the Orange, the Limpopo, and the Senegal. The largest lakes are Victoria (the world's second largest freshwater lake), Tanganyika, Albert, Turkana, and Nyasa (or Malawi), all in E Africa; shallow Lake Chad, the largest in W Africa, shrinks considerably during dry periods. The lakes and major rivers (most of which are navigable in stretches above the escarpment of the plateau) form an important inland transportation system. Geologically, recent major earth disturbances have been confined to areas of NW and E Africa. Geologists have long noted the excellent fit (in shape and geology) between the coast of Africa at the Gulf of Guinea and the Brazilian coast of South America, and they have evidence that Africa formed the center of a large ancestral supercontinent known as Pangaea. Pangaea began to break apart in the Jurassic period to form Gondwanaland, which included Africa, the other southern continents, and India. South America was separated from Africa c.76 million years ago, when the floor of the S Atlantic Ocean was opened up by seafloor spreading; Madagascar was separated from it c.65 million years ago; and Arabia was separated from it c.20 million years ago, when the Red Sea was formed. There is also evidence of one-time connections between NW Africa and E North America, N Africa and Europe, Madagascar and India, and SE Africa and Antarctica.

Extractions: DID YOU KNOW? Education is based broadly on the British system and curriculum. All children attend school between the ages of five and fifteen. The island operates a three-tier system with students progressing from First Schools to Middle Schools and then onto the Community High School, Prince Andrew. ZOOM - MAP Endemic species, such as the Wirebird , are highly protected and a birdwatchers delight. Today, the visitor to St Helena is surprised by the varied vegetation zones within short distances. On the higher grounds of the island there is an abundance of lush semi-tropical vegetation. This changes to grasslands and pastures and finally arid terrain as one moves down to the coast. The highest point on St Helena is Diana's Peak at 2685 ft or 818m.

Extractions: About St Helena THE PEOPLE The population of St Helena is 5,000, mainly descendants of British settlers and East India Company employees and slaves from the South Asian sub-Continent, the East Indies and Madagascar as well as Chinese indentured labourers. The capital and only town is Jamestown, with a population of about 900. The other main districts of population are Longwood and Half Tree Hollow. THE GEOGRAPHY St Helena is situated in the South Atlantic Ocean, 5'43' west and 15'56' south, 1,200 miles (1,950 km) from the south-west coast of Africa and 1,800 miles (2,900 km) from the coast of South America. The nearest land is Ascension Island, which lies 703 miles (1,125 km) to the north-west. The island is 47 square miles (122 square km), ten and a half miles (1 7 km) long and six and a half miles (10 km) wide, consisting of steep, rocky terrain. Rising dramatically from the South Atlantic, the island has sheer barren cliffs intersected with deep valleys (locally known as guts) which slope steeply from the central ridges. There is little flat land and the island has no sandy beaches. The highest point on St Helena is Diana's Peak (2,685ft, 818m.) On the higher central ground bush and semitropical vegetation is abundant. This changes to grassland and pastures before the terrain becomes drier and almost barren below an altitude of 1,60Oft (500m). The only inland waters are small mountain streams, which occasionally dry up in the summer months.

Extractions: St Helena is a small and remote Island, which lies in the South Atlantic Ocean at 150 56' south latitude, 50 43' west longitude, the nearest main land being West Africa some 1770 km away. St Helena is irregular in shape with the extreme length of the Island being from East to West measuring 16.5 km and an extreme width from the North to South of 13.3 km. A central ridge runs from the South east of the Island, taking a semicircular course towards the south West, separating the Island in two. Despite the wide range in soil types on St Helena, both horticulture and agriculture are practised Island wide with a fair degree of success. Horticulture Vegetable and fruit production can be found throughout the Island on a wide variety of soil types and structures and climates, farms range from 50 m to 410 m above sea level. Coffee production favours areas towards the South of the Island where the pH ranges from 5 to 8+, although coffee can be grown in the Eastern areas of the Island. The production of endemic trees and scrubs is located at the ANRD Headquarters at Scotland, the majority of endemic species (flora) is located at Diana's Peak, the highest peaks reaching up to 823 m above sea level. Forest areas are scattered around the Island, although the main production of new planting stock is again located at the ANRD Headquarters.
