Reframing Deforestation : Global Analyses and Local Realities: Studies in West Africa
ISBN: 9780415185912 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

On a country by country basis (covering Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin) and using historical and social anthropological evidence, it illustrates that more realistic assessments of forest cover change, and more respectful attention to local knowledge and practices, are necessary bases for effective and appropriate...
