Extractions: - The country The economy is overwhelmingly agricultural, with cassava, sweet potatoes, plantains, millet, and sorghum as the chief subsistence crops, and coffee (which provides over 90% of export revenues), cotton, tea, and tobacco are the principal cash crops. Stockraising, fishing, and hardwood production are also significant. Its natural resources include cobalt, copper, salt, and limestone. Of Uganda's 21 million people, an estimated 66 percent are Christian, 18 percent practice traditional beliefs, and 16 percent are Muslim. The Anglican and Catholic churches as well as the United Methodist Church are among the many Christian churches found in Uganda. Uganda, most of whom worship in Jinja and Busia near the border with Kenya. English is Uganda's official language. see map sketch of Uganda Archeology tells that prehistoric man walked the earth in what is now Uganda and many sites have been excavated that show habitation over the centuries. One of the more recent excavations is in Kiboro, near Lake Albert, where there are traces of village life going back thousands of years. Around A.D. 1100. Bantu-speaking people migrated into the area that is now Uganda, and by the 14th century they were organized into several independent kingdoms. The most powerful of these were Bunyoro (16th-17th cent.) and later Buganda (18th-19th cent.). In 1962 Uganda gained independence under a federal constitution that gave Buganda a large measure of autonomy. There are four ethnic groups thriving in Uganda: Bantu "Bushmen" (the most numerous), Nilotic "Negroes", Nilo-Hamitic "Hamites" and Sudanic "Cushites". The majority of population is dependent on agricultural harvests in the fertile area South of Lake Kyoga. The contrasts between the various peoples of Uganda reflect the multiplicity of its culture, traditions, and lifestyles. Uganda has been created by the union of many people, ancient people with their own traditional lands, their own customs and a way of life inherited from their ancestors. This has made it acquire a cultural diversity especially in Music and Dance.

Extractions: (Maasai Proverb) Introduction To adequately explore these links, however, it is necessary first to provide an overview of the present challenges facing pastoralists and move through a brief review of the pastoralist environment, economy, land policies, laws and the nature of common property systems. Such a review will provide the context for consideration of pastoral cosmology which will, in turn, be further illustrated by a summary of three case studies from Kenya. Key themes in the links between cosmology and these issues of conflict and change will emerge. Moreover, it will be demonstrated how the challenging situations facing pastoralists imperil pastoral cosmology. Yet it is that cosmology which offers the insights and resolutions to disarm the challenges while building a more sustainable future from that most commonly advocated. Overview of the Present Challenge Climate and ecology.

Extractions: mikec@nrel.colostate.edu Based upon discussions the AT has had in Colorado, and at our first workshop in Nairobi, we are revising our problem model as follows. Our original problem model emphasized spatially extensive pastoral ecosystems. Now, we are broadening the problem model to include a wide range of land tenure arrangements ranging in spatial scale from: (a) private ranches (eg. Kajiado, Kenya, Laikipia), to (b) group ranches (eg. Kajiado, Loita), c) restricted communal land use (eg. Serengeti-Ngrongoro), to (d) traditional communal land use (eg. Loliondo, Turkana), to (e) parks which exclude people entirely. 2) Many of the formerly wildlife rich pastoral areas of East Africa are now depauperate or wildlife poor, due to warfare and increased access to advanced weaponry. This is especially true in Uganda, and may also be true in Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, and Eritrea. For example, game was essentially extirpated from NW Uganda during the Amin years. Now there is continued rebel activity coming from southern Sudan. In Karamoja, most of the game has been eliminated due to the arming of the people with automatic weapons left behind by Amin's exiled forces. A few "community" game reserves do exist. Game declines in Turkana can also be attributed to access to weapons, and a weak conservation ethic among these people. Other reasons for wildlife decline include increasing human populations, and increased use of marginal lands by agriculturalists than most pastoralists.

Extractions: SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN KENYA OVERVIEW OF KENYA TOURISM INDUSTRY Kenya lies a long the East coast of Africa covering an area of 586,350 sq.km. with an estimated population of 26 million. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy. Kenya is in the process of establishing a firm industrial base with import substitution and processing industries having been firmly established. The country aims at joining the newly industrialised nations status by the year 2020. Tourism is currently the second largest contributor to the economy after agriculture. Tourism in Kenya dates back to pre-independence days and history has it recorded that as early as the 1930's, overseas visitors and explorers had started coming to Kenya mainly for big-game hunting expeditions while others came in search of solitude. These expeditions were locally referred to by the Swahili word "Safari" thus bequeathing to the travel world literature with a new vocabulary. Among the early visitors were Statesmen, Royalties and celebrities such as Theodore Rosevelt, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and Ernest Hemingway respectively. At that time, there was already a relatively well developed but limited tourism infrastructure. The available accommodation was spartan but ideal for both the visitors as well as the settler community in Kenya. However soon after independence, the Kenya Government realised the enormous potential of the nascent tourism industry and hence undertook to upgrade the existing infrastructure and superstructure as well as investing in additional facilities. To achieve its goal, the Government encouraged local and foreign enterprenuers to invest in the tourism and hospitality industries thus paving the way for the future development of the sector.

Extractions: OSG PRESS RELEASE No. 10, February 1996 In the August,1995 press release it was reported that "27 persons were executed by EPRDF soldiers in Babo Gambel village, Jarso district, W.Wollega. The bodies were found at three different sites after villagers heard gunfire on 28.4.95. Most of the bodies were not known to the villagers. Three were named as Henok Yonatan Yishak, Mesfin Gedefa and Tsegaye Negerra. The first two at least are known to have been taken from Nejo military camp on 6.4.95. The parents of Henok were refused permission to bury him. Farmers reported the bodies to the local administrator in Jarso town and were told not to bury them with proper ceremony. The local administration made no investigation into the killings." The Oromia Support Group aims to publicise human rights violations committed against the people of Ethiopia by forces employed by the Ethiopian Government. Its objectives are to promote democracy, freedom from human rights abuses and self-determination for all the peoples of Ethiopia, and disseminate information about Oromo history and culture. Since its inception, and prior to this press release, the Oromia Support Group has reported 873 extra-judicial killings and 356 disappearances of civilians suspected of supporting groups opposing the government. Most of these have been Oromo people. Tens of thousands of civilians have been imprisoned. Torture and rape of prisoners is commonplace, especially in secret detention centres, whose existence is denied by the government. The EPRDF government's security forces are making it increasingly difficult for information on human rights violations to be gathered within the country and for this information to be sent abroad.

Our missionto assess environmental degradation, and how sedentarisation may be contributing to desertification around settlements and on the range. As we zoom across the flat hardpan of the Chalbi desert, the sun is spreading its soft, brilliant blanket over the silhouette of Mt. Kulal. We pass small Rendille camels from the fora satellite camps, grazing in the twilight, unfazed by our speed. We are in no hurry, and on a twilight break we inspect the Chalbi's crusty, salt-impregnated surface. When precipitation exceeds evaporation, insoluble minerals and salts are leached out of the soil. Eons of rainfall have concentrated soda in the wind-scoured floor of this former inland sea. Once upon a time, this was a very lush land. It is early June, 2000. Kenya is hurtling toward a massive combined crisis of power shortfalls, water rationing, and shrinking informal sector employment. The drought-crippled economy is fueling new and unique expressions of social tension: rioting school children in Nairobi capture a Tusker beer truck, and drink it dry.
