COMMUNICATIONS - PUBLICATIONS Miguel A. Altieri (ed) (1993) Crop protection strategies for subsistence farmers . pp. ix + 197. ISBN 0-8133-8635-7. Westview Press, Inc., 5500 Central Avenue, Boulder, CO 80301-2877, USA. Intermediate Technology Publications, 103-105 Southampton Row, London WC1B 4HH, UK. The six chapters of this book explore efforts towards sustainable development which involve small-scale farmers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Emphasis is on farmers' participation, on-farm research, biological control techniques and the maintenance and enhancement of biodiversity at the farm level. Three keys to improving pest management systems are discussed: understanding indigenous agricultural knowledge and applying it to solve pest problems; involving farmers in participatory research; and using agroecological principles and techniques that enhance natural and biological control processes. The editor's introductory chapter includes an excellent overview of indigenous methods of pest control. (Mike Warren) H.J.

Sustainable Development 11 November 2002 U.N. Environmental Program Launches Desertification Reversal Project Nine sub-Saharan African nations involved Reviving forgotten secrets of the tribal peoples may be the key to restoring dying and degraded lands fringing African deserts, according to the U.N. Environmental Program (UNEP) as the agency launches a new project in nine countries. A November 11 UNEP news release says this new phase of the Desert Margins Program aims to conserve unique plant forms adapted to life in arid conditions and to identify the causes of land degradation in the targeted areas. That analysis will form the basis for action plans to reverse degradation in this project funded by the Global Environment Facility and conducted by UNEP and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The UNEP release says "gathering and sharing of traditional, indigenous knowledge and marrying this with modern land management techniques" will be crucial to the success of the project. "There is no single cause behind land degradation and desertification in these drylands and there is no silver bullet able to solve these complex social, climatic and poverty-related problems," said UNEP Executive Director Klaus Toepfer. "However, solve them we must for the sake of the people living there."

Dreams, symbols and totems Animals have a social and a sacred significance to all nomads. John Galaty looks at how they both mediate and inform the world view of herders and hunters. PHOTO: JEFF SPEED Lichen under snow In a modern world plagued by environmental destruction and loss of biodiversity we are rediscovering knowledge held by indigenous peoples regarding the natural world. Nomadic hunters have to be behavioural ecologists, and herders must know animal science and range ecology. Lapps, for example, know when and where reindeer will seek lichen under winter snow; Inuit know where seals lie, how long they stay under water and which ripples betray their presence. The Turkana in northern Kenya bring their camels, cattle, goats and sheep to the Rift Valley Floor during the wet season. Then in the dry season the cattle and sheep are moved to the cooler mountains while camels and goats browse the remaining lowland shrubs. State of grace John Galaty teaches at McGill University in Montreal, Canada and has written extensively on pastoralism in East Africa. Contents page NI Home Page
