World Wetlands Day 2001: Planned And Reported Activities will be the first ever in africa, and the further information about activities atKota Kinabalu, Sabah Dear friends of the indigenous peoples Wetlands Network. http://www.ramsar.org/wwd2001_reports.htm
Extractions: The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands World Wetlands Day 2001: Activities planned and reported for WWD 2001 What is World Wetlands Day? World Wetlands Day , set for 2 February of each year, in recognition of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971 in the Iranian city of Ramsar, was celebrated for the first time in 1997. The purpose of World Wetlands Day is to provide an opportunity for government and citizens' groups to undertake actions aimed at raising public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular. (Photo left: WWD 2001 in Lutembe Bay, Uganda Wetland world - A world to discover! The suggested theme for World Wetlands Day 2001 is " Wetland world - A world to discover! " In addition, World Wetlands Day 2001 falls on the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Convention and marks 30 years of work and progress by the Convention on Wetlands. The wetlands community around the world is invited to celebrate this anniversary on World Wetlands Day. The Ramsar Administrative Authority in each country and the wetlands community at large are encouraged to focus on the efforts made, and the obstacles encountered, in implementing the three main commitments of the countries that have joined the Convention: 1) the inclusion of internationally important wetlands in the Ramsar List; 2) planning for the "wise use" of all their wetlands; and 3) international cooperation on shared water systems and species. The Anniversary's motto is:
Africans Art must consider both perspectives the indigenous as well the cultures of other peoplesonly by from a longstanding Western, imperialistic involvement in africa. http://www.webzinemaker.net/africans-art/index.php3?action=page&id_art=360

Map Of Gabon Less numerous peoples include the Benga and Seke (Sheke) in the far northwest, theKota and Teke policy of limiting the use of indigenous languages solely http://www.arches.uga.edu/~mbrugger/map.html
Extractions: Gabon straddles the equator on the west coast of Africa. I was posted in the north at Oyem and lived on the campus of a rural development school staffed by UNESCO employees (United Nations) along with Gabonese. I taught one pisciculture course (breeding of fish as a farm product) at the school and spent the majority of my time in the rural villages. Many of the Bantu languages do not have written forms. During the 19th century Christian missionaries transliterated several of them in the Latin alphabet and prepared Bible translations and catechisms for their followers. But the French policy of limiting the use of indigenous languages solely to religious instruction inhibited the growth of other types of literature. Because of the extensive efforts to teach French, at least one-third of the Gabonese can speak the language, and more than one-quarter can read it. A large majority of Gabon's population is Christian, with about three times as many Roman Catholics as Protestants. Though Gabonese serve as Roman Catholic bishops, they rely heavily upon foreign clergy, particularly the French Holy Ghost Fathers. The largest Protestant body, the Evangelical Church of Gabon, has Gabonese pastors in its parishes throughout the north. There also exist a small but growing Christian Alliance Church in the southwest and the tiny Evangelical Pentecostal Church (Assembly of God) in the estuary and far northern regions. A syncretic religion called Bwiti (based on an earlier secret society of the same name) came into existence in the early 20th century and later played a role in promoting solidarity among the Fang. The majority of the few thousand Muslims are immigrants from other African countries.
Correlating Linguistic And Archaeological Stratigraphies: would greatly enrich our comprehension of Australian indigenous cultures, in 3.Kotagroup. and supplication.Although NigerCongo peoples commonly recognize http://crlc.anu.edu.au/arcling2/Ehret.html
Extractions: Note: This is an initial draft of the paper to be presented at ARCLING II. Linguistic Stratigraphies and Linguistic Reconstruction of Culture History: What We Can Learn from African Examples In a variety of instances it has then been possible to correlate the linguistic histories with strikingly parallel successions of change in regional archaeological stratigraphies (Ambrose 1982, Ehret 1993, 1998, and Ownby 1985, among others). The pre-European history of the Australian peoples would seem an immensely fruitful field for just these kinds of studies. The cases most parallel to the Australian situation would seem be those of the Khoisan family of languages, up till recent times still spoken principally by hunter-gatherer communities. But our knowledge is more thorough and extensive at present for the other families of Africa, and in fact some of our strongest and most illustrative examples come from the Niger-Congo family, especially its Bantu sub-branch, and the Nilo-Saharan family. An African Case of the Shift from Food Collecting to Food Production We begin here with an example from the Nilo-Saharan language family in Africa.

Extractions: Malaysia consists of two components: peninsular Malaysia, which is part of mainland Southeast Asia, and the states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Although there are considerable areas of lowland and coastal plain, much of the country consists of mountainous terrain clothed in dense rain forest. With the exception of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, elevations are modest3,000 to 6,000 feet (1,000 to 2,000 meters). Since Malaysia lies entirely between one and seven degrees north of the equator, it experiences a humid equatorial-tropical climate. Mountain ranges extend southward from Thailand into peninsular Malaysia. Much of the centre of Borneo consists of mountain systems. Sarawak, in the Northwest, represents a slightly uplifted basin with its southern portion folded into a series of parallel ridges from Southwest to Northeast. The mountain ridges of Sarawak pass north-eastward into Sabah, where they form a more compact coastal mountain chain. This culminates in Mount Kinabalu, which at 13,698 feet (4,175 meters) is the highest point between north-eastern India and the island of New Guinea. Malaysia enjoys a tropical climate with plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Temperatures typically range from 70 to 90ºF (22 to 33ºC) and cooler in the highlands. With the occurrence of the annual Southwest (April to October) and Northeast (October to February) monsoons, the average rate of annual rainfall is high: 100 inches (250cm). Much of the rainfall is concentrated in the late afternoons. Humidity is high throughout the year.
