Ecotourism in China : Endogenous paradigms for SW China's indigenous minority peoples. John Studley May 1999 1.0 Introduction When I discussed the potential of "ecotourism" with forestry officials in 1998, there was familiarity with the term Page 1 SW China is especially renowned for the uniqueness and variety of its flora, fauna and indigenous ethnic peoples. In some locations the untouched ecosystems are among the most diverse living assemblies on earth (Smil 1984). Although its recorded history is not as well known as Han China, there is evidence that the people have lived sustainably with their fragile world for 2,000 years, and still exhibit a conservation ethic deeply embedded both in historic government Tsatsig and in their animistic and Tibetan Buddhist traditions (Bjork 1993, Tenzin P Atisha 1996, Chen Liang 12/9/98). Since 1950 the world has witnessed the negative impact of modernity both on SW China's environment, and on the socio-cultural systems of its indigenous peoples.. Modernity rather than enhancing their well being is seemingly destroying their environment and indigenous culture and robbing them of their means of life. In 1997 China announced plans for reforestation, conservation and forest tourism, but the serious Yangtze floods of 1998 caused the government to impose a complete felling ban on the forests of SW China and to close 9m ha of grazing land, for reforestation. Although China, seemingly had to halt the planned "mining" of its second forest production base, the phased introduction of a suite of measures, including, conservation

RIo Muni includes three major rivers : the Campo, which forms part of the northern boundary; the Benito, located in the center; and RIo Muni, which forms part of the southern boundary. There are forests of okume, mahogany, and walnut along the coast and the rivers. Bioko is made up of three extinct volcanoes, the loftiest of which is c.9,870 ft (3,010 m) high. The island has abundant fertile volcanic soil. Corisco and the Elobey islands are located near the RIo Muni estuary. The great majority of the inhabitants of Equatorial Guinea speak a Bantu language. The main ethnic group in RIo Muni, where most of the population lives, is the Fang. The population of Bioko is primarily made of the Bubi (the oldest of the modern-day inhabitants), descendants of slaves from W Africa liberated by the British in the 19th cent., and Nigerians and Fangs who migrated there in the 20th cent. Spanish is the official language. Also spoken are pidgin English, Fang, Bubi, and Igbo. The population is at least nominally Christian and predominantly Roman Catholic; some indigenous religions are practiced.

African Indigenous Languages as Semi-official Languages: A Study in the Causes of Political Conflicts in Africa opyright 1998 — ISSN : 1155-4363 1.0 The Beginnings B Colonialism thus gave birth to a new type of nationhood — a nationhood in which the natives surrendered their ethnic loyalties for those of the colonising power. This involved the acquisition and application of the Western notions of nationism and nationalism. Nationism denotes governance while nationalism denotes the patriotic feelings one has for one’s nation. In both governance and patriotism, language poses a problem. Governance requires, according to Fasold, “communication both within the governing institutions and between government and the people” (1984: 3). The people who were to be governed or who were being governed were illiterate and diverse. They needed to be educated and united. The need for the language of governance, that of education and national cohesion engendered the desire for an official language (OL) — a prestigious, bias-free highly efficient language capable of handling the functional load of governance, trade, modern religion and diplomacy. Only the colonising languages satisfied these requirements. They were therefore imposed as the official languages. 1.1 Indigenous Languages Under the Canopy

They are all in foreign museums. Ephraim Bani, a witty and knowledgeable Torres Strait Islander and an expert on his people's myths and legends, sets out on a voyage of discovery to the great museums of Europe where his cultural heritage now lies. The film asks: what happens when he encounters and meditates on his patrimony and secondly, what consequences does this hold for us in the West?

Regular People Who Make a Difference Presidents, foreign ministers, and other political leaders are not the only individuals who affect world politics. They certainly are in the best position to do so, but so can you. As evidence that you can be more than a member of the audience, the common theme of the minibiographies that follow is that each is about a private citizen who has tried to make the world a better place. Rigoberta Menchú is a Guatemalan of Mayan descent. She has campaigned for the rights and betterment of indigenous people around the world. For her efforts, Menchú received the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize. The citation to the prize, which came on the 500th anniversary year of the arrival of Columbus in the Western Hemisphere, read, "Today, Rigoberta Menchú stands out as a vivid symbol of peace and reconciliation across ethnic, cultural, and social dividing lines, in her own country, on the American continent, and in the world."
