From Agrarian Reform to Ethnodevelopment in the Highlands of Ecuador

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2008
Ecuador

Through an examination of interventions in the agrarian structures and rural society of the Ecuadorian Andes over the past 40 years, this article explores the gradual imposition of a particular line of action that separates rural development from the unresolved question of the concentration of land ownership and wealth among the very few. This imposition has been the consequence, it is argued, of the new development paradigms implemented in Andean peasant communities since the end of land reform in the 1970s.

Leichhardt's maps: 100 years of change in vegetation structure in inland Queensland

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2008
Australia

To address the hypothesis that there has been a substantial increase in woody vegetation cover ('vegetation thickening') during the 100 years after the burning practices of aboriginal hunter-gatherers were abruptly replaced by the management activities associated with pastoralism in north-east Australia. Three hundred and eighty-three sites on 3000 km transect, inland Queensland, Australia. Vegetation structure descriptions from the route notes of the first European exploration of the location by Ludwig Leichhardt in 1844-45 were georeferenced and compiled.

Evaluating Biodiversity Conservation around a Large Sumatran Protected Area

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2008
Indonesia

Many of the large, donor-funded community-based conservation projects that seek to reduce biodiversity loss in the tropics have been unsuccessful. There is, therefore, a need for empirical evaluations to identify the driving factors and to provide evidence that supports the development of context-specific conservation projects.

Do Overlapping Land Rights Reduce Agricultural Investment? Evidence from Uganda

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2008
Uganda
Africa

While the need for land-related investment for sustainable land management and increased productivity is well recognized, quantitative evidence on agricultural productivity effects of secure property rights in Africa is scant. Within-household analysis of investments by owner-cum-occupants in Uganda points toward significant and quantitatively large investment effects of full ownership. Registration is estimated to have no investment effects, whereas measures to strengthen occupancy rights attenuate investment disincentives.

Land cover and tsetse fly distributions in sub-Saharan Africa

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2008
Africa

This study aims to provide trypanosomiasis-affected countries with standardized datasets and methodologies for mapping the habitat of the tsetse fly (Glossina spp., the disease vector) by customizing and integrating state-of-the-art land cover maps on different spatial scales. Using a combination of inductive and deductive approaches, land cover and fly distribution maps are analysed in a geographic information system (GIS) to estimate the suitability of different land cover units for the three groups (subgenera) of Glossina.
