Human-wildlife conflict in Africa. Causes, consequences and management strategies

By: Lamarque, F., Anderson, J., Fergusson, R., Lagrange, M., Osei-Owusu, Y., Bakker, L.
FAO Forestry Paper No. 157

Conflicts between humans and wildlife have occurred since the dawn of humanity. In Africa, these conflicts have become more frequent and severe over recent decades as a result of human population growth, extension of transport routes and expansion of agricultural and industrial activities which together have led to increased human encroachment on previously wild and uninhabited areas. With a focus on large herbivores and carnivores such as elephant, lions and crocodiles, this book presents the issues, describes different methods of conflict management and outlines a three-step framework for decision making. This publication will be of interest to villagers, farmers, wildlife practitioners, development workers and researchers, to local, regional and national authorities, and ultimately to anybody keen to learn more about the issue.

Planted Forests. Uses, Impacts and Sustainability

Edited by: Evans, J.
Wallingford, UK, 2009, 228 pp., B5, HB
ISBN: 978-92-5-106222-7 (FAO)

(Co-published with, and available from, CABI - not available from FAO). Planted forests, although only seven per cent of the world's forest resources, have superseded naturally regenerating forests as the principal source of industrial wood products. Representing a complement, but not an alternative, to natural forests, planted forests have become increasingly important for reducing worldwide deforestation, loss of forest ecosystem and forest degradation.

The chapters of this book consider the strength and weakness of planted forests, management objectives for their use and aspects of ownership and policy. Outlining the critical role planted forests play in sustainable forest management, this book will be an essential resource for forestry researchers, policy makers, planners and all concerned with land use and the environment, including climate change.

Right to Food Methodological Toolbox

(Six volumes in a book binder)

This toolbox is a book binder including six different volumes that provide practical information and detailed guidance on ways to integrate the right to food into different levels of national legislation, policies and programmes. It provides operational assistance to those seeking to monitor the right to adequate food and to identify and classify vulnerable groups suffering from hunger and food insecurity. There are also a large number of recommendations on planning, implementing and monitoring public allocations and expenditures in this field.

The toolbox was put together by experts and practitioners with ample knowledge and experience in a variety of fields. The five volumes offer practical information into a variety of important subjects such as:
- introducing the right to food into a constitution or into national legislation;
- monitoring the right to adequate food, addressed largely to technical staff in public sector institutions and civil society organisations responsible for planning and monitoring food security, nutrition and poverty;
- assisting governments, civil society and other stakeholders in assessing the right to food situation;
- exploring how government budgets relate to the realization of the right to food, offering a 10-steps program for building the case for a right to food approach, analysing the government budget and presenting a claim.

Finally, the right to food toolbox includes a Curriculum Outline that will help to strengthen country capacity to implement the right to food. It can be used by teachers, trainers and other educators in developing specific courses or training programmes on the right to food.
