Extractions: NORTHERN KENYA BARINGO by Melissa Dice Restless after a year in London, where I had been working perhaps somewhat misguidedly in fashion photography, I came to my senses and flew to Africa on a Raleigh International expedition. After 2 months spent taking groups up Mount Kenya and 1 month leading a conservation project up at Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda I was determined to stay. After the expedition I spent an extra few weeks up at Murchison Falls doing aerial photography and game-counting and realising how much the animal population was decimated during the Amin era. It was still a wonderful experience to fly over the Falls where the whole force of the Nile is channelled through a 12 ft gap; seeing elephants bathing in the river below. There were also hundreds of black buffalo whose backs were superimposed with the white of cattle egrets (its a healthy symbiotic relationship they feed off the ticks on the buffalos backs). As we flew over the buffalo stampeded dislodging all but the most tenacious egrets. I then returned to Kenya and started work with RAE the Rehabilitation of Arid Environments Charitable Trust in Baringo in Northern Kenya. Baringo District has become a semi-arid wasteland. This unproductive, eroded land can no longer support its diverse peoples and wildlife. RAE works with local communities to transform drylands into sustainable rangelands where livestock can graze. For over a decade RAE and the agropastoralists of the Rift Valley have developed land reclamation techniques and communitybased strategies for the long-term management of drylands.

Extractions: A special word of thanks to Sr Therese Nwosu, Sr Celine Gallagher and the members of the Holy Rosary Congregation for their kind help. The First Twenty-Five Years For 60 years Killeshandra has been home to one of the world's greatest missionary endeavors. For 60 years young women left Killeshandra to bring education, health care and, most important of all, the Christian message to the African peoples. Through their courage, their total commitment, their dedication, they have made an enormous contribution to the development of many third world countries. The full extent of this contribution may never be fully appreciated or recognized. For these brave women, their journey began in Killeshandra. They were members of the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, and their convent, the mother house of the order, was situated a few miles outside of the town. At its peak the order was the largest missionary congregation for women in Ireland. Throughout the length and breadth of Ireland the sisters were simply and affectionately known as the ' Killeshandra nuns '. To tell their story is to tell the story of some of the bravest and most dedicated women ever to leave these shores.

Summer 1988 RDFN 6b Trees and Pastoralists: The Case of the Pokot and Turkana Edmund Barrow This paper argued that the traditional values and practices of the semi-nomadic Pokot and Turkana peoples of Kenya provided an excellent basis for institutional efforts to sustain the pastoralists' semi-arid environments. Both groups managed pasture lands adaptively and co-operatively, under the leadership of elders. Trees along water courses were under individual tenure, highly valued and rarely cut, though people did not plant trees and failed to see the connection between seedlings and productive mature trees. The author argued that the many inappropriate and damaging interventions in the area, for instance intensification of land use, could be usefully replaced by developments that start with what people know, build on indigenous strategies and strengthen local rights of tenure.

Extractions: 315pp., ISBN 90 5538 045 8 This book deals with the effort to transform the homogeneous, remote and uniform State into one which recognises the heterogeneity of Latin American society, provides structures and channels for the participation of the most marginalized groups, and recognises a variety of sources of law and public authority. This effort is the result of the mobilisation of civil society, and marginalized groups in particular. This book shows how the incorporation of ethnic rights (mostly indigenous rights but in some cases the rights of the African-American population), has contributed to the recovery of demographic legitimacy by widening the opportunities for representation and participation for the most marginalized sectors of the population.
