Human Impact on Environment and Sustainable Development in Africa de Michael B.K. Darkoh

Human Impact on Environment and Sustainable Development in Africa: Routledge Revivals

Autor Michael B.K. Darkoh Editat de Apollo Rwomire
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2019
This title was first published in 2003. Based on a blend of knowledge and perspectives from a variety of disciplines this volume examines the human-environment interaction in Africa, with a focus on the economic, social and political processes that generate environmental change and problems in this region. Currently there are controversies over and challenges to such concepts and issues as environment-human relationships, ecological resilience, decertification, sustainable development, globalization and North-South dialogue. This book draws upon past and present research findings to discuss these issues. It features: an examination of the characteristics, processes and patterns of environmental crises; an analysis of the principal issues and challenges facing policy makers and implementers; and the promotion of awareness of theoretical, empirical and comparative research. The volume not only seeks to answer some of the old questions, but also open up new ones for further discussion.

Recenzii

’At last! This is a timely book on Africa and its people - environment relationships by a variety of specialists. The range of material is impressive; socio-economic issues are juxtaposed with environmental issues with specific reference to African countries and their unique contexts.

Scholars and students of Geography and Development as well as those in the Social and Environmental Sciences will find this book a valuable synopsis of the relationships between people and place in Africa. The approach is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, the authors all have firsthand experience and the end product is a well balanced book. It deserves to be widely read.’ Dr A.M. Mannion, Department of Geography, University of Reading, UK ’Library shelves and web sites, replete with horror stories of the declining condition of the planet, provide plenty of evidence that Africa is a hotspot, at least in the eyes of western scholarship and international agencies. To the world outside, Africa appears to be headed down the tubes. But on the ground the picture of a dying continent is much less certain. Nobody doubts that humans are leaving imprints and that apparently stable ecosystems are threatened and biodiversity is shrinking. But looking through a country-by-country or village-by-village prism, the picture is not so simple. Africa’s landscapes and people are resilient. For instance, among the conservation myths the Global North has foisted on Africa is that its wild landscapes are being totally devastated by the encroachment of humans and their struggle for survival. This generalization may be true at some scales and in some places, but overall, Africa human-environment relationships, in fact, show both positive and negative trajectories. Certainly national and global political economies and undeniable human tragedies, such as the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the current plag
