Africa Map Click here to see large map Introduction Features of Africa Africa is the second-largest continent , after Asia, covering 30,330,000 sq km; about 22% of the total land area of the Earth. It measures about 8,000 km from north to south and about 7,360 km from east to west. The highest point on the continent is Mt. Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Point - (5,963 m/19,340 ft) in Tanzania. The lowest is Lake 'Asal (153 m/502 ft below sea level) in Djibouti. The Forests cover about one-fifth of the total land area of the continent. The Woodlands, bush lands, grasslands and thickets occupy about two-fifth. And the Deserts and their extended margins have the remaining two-fifths of African land. World's longest river : The River Nile drains north-eastern Africa, and, at 6,650 km (4,132 mi), is the longest river in the world. It is formed from the Blue Nile, which originates at Lake Tana in Ethiopia, and the White Nile, which originates at Lake Victoria. World's second largest lake : Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the is the world's second-largest freshwater lake - covering an area of 69,490 sq km (26,830 sq mi) and lies 1,130 m (3,720 ft) above sea level.

Bloomington: Indiana University Press , 1995, pp. 413-434. Reproduced with permission. The author would like to point out that this essay, published in 1995 and written a year before, does not reflect some more recent publications and web resources. Special thanks to Lauris Olson and David Toccafondi of the University of Pennsylvania for the web version of this essay. Contents Introduction General Overviews Geography History, Including Archaeology ... Computer Resources Introduction Although courses on Africa have been part of the undergraduate curriculum in American colleges and universities for more than three decades, it is surprising how few materials have been written specifically for undergraduates. The resources included in this essay were written for undergraduates or are relatively accessible to them. The focus is on resources in English published or reissued since 1980, which cover the whole continent or sub-Saharan Africa, rather than individual countries. It is beyond the scope of this essay to provide resources specific to Africa's more than fifty nation-states. However, resources on South Africa have been included, since a chapter on South Africa is included in this volume. [p. 414] This essay is addressed to undergraduate students, librarians who select materials for undergraduate collections, and faculty who teach undergraduate courses. Accurate, up-to-date materials which could form a core collection for undergraduate libraries have been selected for inclusion in the essay. Sections on audiovisual and computer resources have been included, since they are as essential to curricula on Africa in the 1990s as are print resources.

History J Abolition of the Slave Trade How the Atlantic slave trade came to be abolished has been the subject of ongoing historical debate. The traditional view argued by British historians for much of the 20th century was that the abolition of the slave trade was the result of a humanitarian campaign spearheaded by a handful of prominent British philanthropists. This view was challenged in the mid-20th century by historians who argued that it was hard economics, not humanitarian concerns, that ended the slave trade. According to this view, by 1800 colonial plantations were declining in profitability, while the spread of industry in Britain (

Press Releases and General Information ARTS OF AFRICA, OCEANIA, AND THE AMERICAS Nearly 1,600 objects from Africa, the Pacific Islands, and the Americas are on view in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Michael C. Rockefeller Wing. They span 3,000 years, three continents, and many islands, and represent a rich diversity of cultural traditions. Highlights of the collection include works from the Court of Benin in Nigeria and sculpture from West and Central Africa; wood sculpture from New Guinea and the island groups of Melanesia and Polynesia; and gold, ceramic, and stone objects from the Precolumbian cultures of Mexico and Central and South America. These collections are of varied materials and types, and range from ritual sculpture to gold and silver ornaments, costumes and textiles, impressive ceremonial figures, and monuments of wood and stone. Although The Metropolitan Museum of Art made its first acquisitions among these fields – a group of Peruvian antiquities – as early as 1882, no significant commitment to the arts of Africa, Oceania, or the Americas was made until 1969. At that time, Nelson A. Rockefeller offered the entire collection of a museum that he had founded in 1954, the Museum of Primitive Art, to the Metropolitan Museum. Included in the gift were 3,300 works of art, a specialized library, and a photographic archive. A separate department for the care, study, and exhibition of these works and study materials was then established at the Metropolitan. Today the collections of the Department of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas are housed in the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, named for Nelson Rockefeller's son, who collected many of the Asmat objects from Irian Jaya, western New Guinea, that are now in the Museum. Among the most spectacular objects in the wing are the nine 15-foot-high Asmat memorial poles (bis) collected by Michael Rockefeller in the early 1960s. The Rockefeller Wing opened to the public in February 1982 and houses 40,000 square feet of exhibition space as well as an office mezzanine with art storerooms, a photograph archive, and the Robert Goldwater Library.

Home What we do Projects Cameroon Cameroon Logging, Cameroon Cameroonian timber awaits export to Europe The rainforests of Cameroon are among the most diverse habitats in Africa, but remain under great threat from commercial logging. The construction of roads by logging companies encourages settlers to move into the forest, as well as the killing of wildlife by bushmeat hunters and poachers. The forests are home to the Baka and Bagyeli 'Pygmy' peoples, many of whom are dependent on local Bantu farmers for their livelihoods. Many Pygmy people are denied basic rights of citizenship and their use of the forest is not recognised in Cameroonian law. Some Baka and Bagyeli people live their entire lives in conditions of semi-slavery.

PEOPLE, PARKS, AND BIODIVERSITY: ISSUES IN POPULATION-ENVIRONMENT DYNAMICS, Part Three Inevitably, a protected area will enhance certain types of economic opportunities, such as tourism or recreational home building, while discouraging others, such as logging and mining. In the United States, some rural communities have been devastated by the closing of mining and timber operations, and others have had to face social and infrastructural problems of rapid growth brought on by increased tourism and associated construction. For example, several resort towns around New York's Adirondack Biosphere Reserve saw a dramatic increase in the proportion of service and retail trade jobs from 1970 to 1990 and a rapid decline in the number of manufacturing jobs during the same period. Rutzitis and Johansen (1989) studied domestic migration to counties in the United States that contain or are adjacent to federally designated wilderness areas. They found that employment opportunities were important to only 25% of the migrants in terms of their choice of location, while the environment or physical amenities were important to almost 50%. The most important attributes of wilderness areas to new migrants were found to be scenery (83%), outdoor recreation (79%), environmental quality (78%), and pace of life (75%). When asked about their attitudes toward development, 90% of recent migrants and 85% of established residents felt that it was important to keep the environment in its natural state. Amenities and quality-of-life factors are increasingly important to some people's decisions about moving, yet many important questions remain about the apparent conflict between amenity and extractive uses.

Africa The African continent, stretching from the Sahara desert in the north to the Cape of Good Hope in the south, is an immense and diverse region of the world. It is in Africa that homo sapiens sapiens Beginning in the late 15th century, and continuing until well into the 19th century, Africa was subjected to the slave trade. Following the European discovery and conquest of the Americas, the various European colonizers particularly Portugal, France, and England began the large-scale purchase of millions of Africans via cooperative states located along the Atlantic coast. From European outposts, slaves were shipped out in the millions and sold to the highest bidder in the Americas. At least ten million Africans, taken all along the African coast from West Africa to Angola , may have been shipped to the Americas. Despite appalling mortality rates, enough Africans survived particularly in northern Brazil , the North American mainland, and the Caribbean to eventually create an African diaspora in their new homeland. Even though the slave trade provided some advantages to those Africans who collaborated with European slavers, in the long run it depopulated many of the states of the West African interior, and left Africa exposed to foreign imperialists. Centuries of contact and exchange between Europeans and Africans had culminated by the mid-19th century in the large-scale European colonization of Africa. Although Britain's acquisition of the Cape Province could be used to define British as the first modern colonial power in Africa, France actually was the first European state to embark on the colonization of all of Africa, particularly under the
