Workshop on Underlying Causes of Deforestation and Forest Degradation Background Document Costa Rica, 18 - 22 January, 1999 An overview of the underlying causes identified, similarities and differences and possible ways forward The process leading to the Costa Rica Workshop involved the preparation of case studies in different regions of the world and their presentation in seven regional and one indigenous peoples' organizations workshops. Presentations provided the basis for discussions in working groups and in plenary, aimed at the identification of the common underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation, followed by the identification of actors and solutions to address them. The eight workshops and the more than forty case studies reflect a wide range of causes, actors and possible solutions in extremely diverse social, political, economic, cultural and environmental contexts. However, all of them coincide in the identification of a number of key causes which are at the root of deforestation and forest degradation processes in all types of forests. All of them also show important coincidences regarding a number of actors -both domestic and international- which are part of the problem and therefore can be part of the solution. As part of the solution, it is important to highlight that the process leading to the workshops, as well as the workshops themselves, constituted an important step forward in raising awareness and increasing knowledge about this relatively new -at least for many people- way of looking at the causes of deforestation and forest degradation. The process involved the participation of local community representatives, NGOs, academics, government officials and representatives from international and to a lesser extent business organizations. This mix facilitated a wider understanding of the problem through the exchange of different types of information and different viewpoints with the common aim of addressing the problem. Given the success of the approach, we feel that it could be extremely useful to continue carrying out similar processes at the national level and that this suggestion could be discussed at this global workshop.

Plans are afoot to try and fence this small forest to protect the smallholdings abutting the forest, preserve the forest itself from illegal logging activities and save the few remaining elephants that still exist there, whose numbers are now few. Orphans "Ndume" and "Malaiaka" (who died in childbirth aged 11 at the end of 2000) and also"Imenti" and most recently "Wendi" are lucky survivors of the ongoing human/elephant conflict that exists in this area.

Forests and Water - Closing the gap between public and science perceptions I.R. Calder Centre for Land Use and Water Resources Research University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Abstract The public perception that forests are, in all circumstances, necessarily good for the water environment, that they increase rainfall, increase runoff, regulate flows, reduce erosion, reduce floods, "sterilize" water supplies and improve water quality, has long been questioned by the scientific community. The evolving "modern" science perception suggests a more complex and generally less advantageous view of forests. It is suggested that the disparity between the two perceptions needs to be addressed before we are in a position to devise and develop land and water policies which are aimed at either improving the water environment, and by doing so improving the livelihoods of poor people by greater access to water, or conserving and protecting forests. Examples are given of "interactive" research projects in different parts of the world including the UK, South Africa, Panama and India where, through the involvement of stakeholder groups, often with representatives comprising both the science and public perceptions, research programmes have been designed and are being implemented, not only to derive new research findings with regard to the biophysical processes, but also to achieve better "ownership" and acceptance of these research findings by the stakeholder groups.

DESIGN FOR DEVELOPMENT DESIGN FOR DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE Design and the African cultural identity JP Odoch Pido Chairman, Department of Design, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya Introduction I was very pleased to be invited to speak on Design and the African Cultural Identity though I am unsure as to what distinguishes African from American, Asian, European or anything in-between. I find speaking about culture in Africa similar to strolling up and down Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi; it is so easy to go from one end of the street to the other without seeing anything. A footpath, as trodden as African culture, appears obvious, yet one can lose one’s way before the next bend because its complexity is in its simplicity. Now that I realise my task is pii nget yoo (a pond on the side of the road, a symbol of easy-difficult dichotomy), do I decline the invitation and get out of trouble? No. I cannot decline the invitation since doing so may prove hostile and not African; besides, a man must see challenges in the eye instead of shying away from them. African spears symbolise different things depending on the culture in question. Whatever the symbolism, this experience (of serving the chief and one’s self at the same time) gave birth to the above expression, one I now use to justify indulging in African Renaissance, and a topic, which lies outside my invitation. Beyond finding an excuse to cover grounds more than I was requested. I cannot avoid marvelling at the use of tong (spear) in tong gweno (chicken spear; meaning, egg). I remember chicken eggs lying at the centre of homecoming rituals and a way to ward off lightning. Now I wonder what good an egg brings to a homecoming ritual, undertaken before a lost child, who has been away from home for ten years, re-enters the home. I also wonder how an egg humbles lightning.

68. CATTLE BREEDS -- NGUNI Nguni cattle are a subtype of the african Sanga cattle associated with the pastrolist cattle culture of the Negro/Bantu people of africa. http://www.embryoplus.com/cattle_nguni.html

Your browser does not support script CATTLE [A-B] [C-G] [H-M] NAGORI ... RED SINDHI NGUNI The breed from the past for the future Nguni cattle are a sub-type of the African Sanga cattle associated with the pastrolist cattle culture of the Negro/Bantu people of Africa. Protein analyses indicate that they have characteristics of both Bos Taurus and Bos Indicus cattle. Physiologically they have charateristics that place them apart from both types. What is certain is that they have been shaped by natural selection in the African environment for thousands of years. The ancestors of the present day Nguni of South Africa were brought into the country by the southward migration of the Khoi people from the central lakes area of Africa. These cattle are still found wherever the decendants of the original groups of the Nguni tribe settled, namely Swaziland, Zululand and Mozambique. The Nguni was originally, and indeed still is, a draft animal. Under sound management conditions it is becoming increasingly popular as a beef breed.
