45. In The 'Greened' World, It Isn't Easy To Be Human - Global Policy Forum - Social Many indigenous peoples do not have a special word for nature by the British and Frenchin africa and Asia. Tanzania involved mass expulsion of the masai people http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/envronmt/anthro.htm

In the 'Greened' World, It Isn't Easy to Be Human By Alexander Stille New York Times July 15, 2000 What could be wrong with saving a rainforest? Quite a bit, say a number of anthropologists who have become increasingly critical of what they call "green imperialism." Portraying environmentalists as latter-day missionaries of a new universal truth, many see third-world conservation as a form of neocolonialism, the latest attempt by wealthy Westerners to move into poor, tropical countries and tell the local residents what they should and should not do with their land. "Environmentalists are trying to save landscapes from the people who live in them," said Simone Dreyfus, a French anthropologist who contributed to a recent volume called "Nature Sauvage, Nature Sauvee" ("Wild Nature, Saved Nature"). "many of them seem to care more about animals and plants than about people. Too often, efforts to save the environment are being imposed from the outside and not from the inside." Though the term "biodiversity" was coined as recently as the 1970's, it caught on so quickly that by the 1980's preserving species had become an important part of American foreign policy. The Department of State, the World Bank and other leading purveyors of foreign aid often made the creation of national parks a condition of receiving it. The policy has paid off: ecologists have succeeded in placing an area the size of China, the United States and Canada under protected status, most of it in the last 20 years.

Institute of Noetic Sciences Staff Profile: Rose Welch A Native Californian with Strong Roots We all have a story about how we found IONS, or more appropriately, how IONS found us. What follows here is my story. . . . I was born to an Irish/Italian Catholic family, and raised near the beach, surf and sand of Huntington Beach in Southern California. My father's roots are on the west coast of Ireland in Counties Mayo and Clare , and my mother's family came from Naples, Italy . As I have said for years, "My face is Irish and my hips Italian!" I seemed to take on the persona of the Irish lass in my youth, more than my Italian heritage, which now seems to be coming upon me with age (like a fine Italian Chianti ).I have always looked at life rather irreverently and with much humor, not taking myself or others too seriously. My family was of the middle working class, and as with all good Irish stock, was composed of nuns, priests and police officers who stressed a strong work ethic along with the power of an excellent education. Subsequently I attended Catholic parochial school all my life up through college, and yet always knew in my DNA that I could do and be anything I wanted in this life! Though raised very strictly with many dating rules, I married at the age of eighteen (as a good Catholic girl would do). My two sons were born within the next two years, and I settled in to be both a mother and a student. To this day, I have no idea how I accomplished my undergraduate work, but I managed to get a degree in anthropology, and much later in life, a graduate degree in gerontology.

49. Africa Travel Centre : Kenya Culture History Although there are over 70 ethnic groups in Kenya, theMasai are the most visible of indigenous peoples in East africa. http://www.africatvl.com/countries/kenya.html

Kenya Kenya is often described as having everything that is beautiful in Africa within her borders. Abundant wildlife and birdlife living free; outstanding scenic beauty of the rolling savannas, the peace of the desert regions of the north, the majestic highlands and glaciated peaks of Mt Kenya; the grandeur of the Great Rift Valley and the allure of white coral beaches. Kenya overwhelms all who visit her. Time spent in this country can be one of the most rewarding travel experiences of one's life. Since gaining independence in 1963, Kenya has experienced considerable growth and prosperity relative to other developing African nations. By focusing on tourism, Kenya has been able to successfully market its national parks and beautiful coast in a way that allows visitors to experience this region of East Africa while contributing to the country's growth. Kenya offers an array of opportunities for travel, wildlife viewing, and cultural experiences. With an immense network of national parks that include a variety of terrain, Kenya arguably stands as one of the top destinations in Africa. Although Kenya lies on the equator, it boasts a variety of landscapes including a tropical coast, grassy plains, desert, and mountains. A fine example of Kenya's wildlife can be found right outside it's largest city in Nairobi National Park. In the South lies the Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya's most reputable reserve and Amboseli National Park, which sits at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Aberdare National Park and Samburu and Shaba National Reserve are situated in the central region, also the home of Mt. Kenya 17,058 ft, Africa's second highest mountain. The Laikipia region is home to many large ranches on a high plateau between desert and mountain in the northwest. Tsavo East and West National Parks are less frequented by visitors and lies between Nairobi and the coast. Other highlights include the Rift Valley Lakes, Meru National Park, and the Indian Ocean Coast.

April 2000 Margaret Reynolds, former senator and now visiting professor in the Department of Government at the University of Queensland, presented the following submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Native Title and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land Fund Three steps towards overcoming the impasse Submission to the Inquiry into Consistency of the Native Title Amendment Act 1998 with Australia's international obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) IN deciding to present a brief submission to this inquiry, I was influenced primarily by the need to reach a compromise between advocates and critics of the Native Title Amendment Act 1998. It is difficult to find a comparable piece of Australian legislation which has been so closely scrutinised. The issue of compliance with Australia's international obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination has polarised opinion nationally and tarnished Australia's reputation internationally. It therefore seemed important to consider how this impasse could be overcome within a realistic political framework.

55. Steven M. Cohn exploration led me to fulfill a youthful life's dream a journey across East africa. TheMasai were the first nonNorth American indigenous peoples I had met http://ecopsychology.athabascau.ca/0197/cohn.htm

Learning from Tarzan Steven M. Cohn Steven Cohn is a doctoral student in ecopsychology at the Pacifica Institute in Carpenteria California, near Santa Barbara. He has completed a dissertation titled The Destruction of the Forest and its Impact on Soul as Informed by Indigenous Peoples. In this essay, he tells how he awoke to the mysteries of the rainforest in the most unlikely of places: at Saturday matinees in a Newton Iowa movie house. Like many of us in the urban industrial societies, he first discovered the primitive in the romanticized imagery of our popular culture in this case Hollywood's Tarzan. He has since gone on to travel the rainforests of the world, where he has studied the surviving forest people under the increasingly lethal pressure of global industrialism. His dissertation was largely inspired by a remarkable visionary moment that may have brought him closer to the indigenous experience of nature than any of his travels. I SPENT MY boyhood exploring the woods near my Iowa home. With only my dog as a companion, I wandered for hours along a twisting path that ran beside a gentle, rock-filled creek. I got to know the trees and stones, the animals and insects, the colors of the seasons, the filtered bright of day, and the sometimes frightening totality of forest night.

Green Corner April 2003 Organic Food My backyard vegetable garden never saw the likes of pesticides in part because I enjoyed sampling the ripe tomatoes and peppers right off the vine before they reached the kitchen. Now that the garden has succumbed due to our summer travels, we shared a subscription to Bull Run Mountain Vegetable Farm in Fauquier County last season with Amy Hamilton to recover those garden tastes of past years. We weren't disappointed. Not only were there fresh tastes but new tastes such as tatsoi, mizuna, argula, and Tokyo bekana. Although visiting Bull Run Farm was a treat, this year we decided to subscribe to Piedmont Organics at Delaplane, Virginia, in order to get weekly Sunday deliveries of fresh organic fruits and vegetables at our church. Organic farms are always an adventure in trying new varieties and if you have the time, an escape from urban life. The organic food market is surging ahead at 20% per year, promising to double in just four years. Prices are falling. Since October 2002 organic food labeling has been controlled by the US Department of Agriculture. A USDA label with '100 organic' means that the product has 95% organic ingredients. If the label indicates 'made with organic ingredients' the product must contain 70% organic ingredients. If the label reads 'made with some organic ingredients' then the producer must state the percentage of those ingredients. What foods carry the USDA organic label? Look for fruits, vegetables, orange juice, coffee, wine, cereal, bread, cocoa, yogurt, milk, eggs, cheese, frozen foods, soups, potato chips, granola bars, processed food, chestnuts, beef, chicken, pork, rice, wheat, soybean oil, and soybean meal.

The Tamu Safaris Experience Katherine Muir wanted to go on a wildlife safari to Africa and was about to sign up with a well-known tour company when she decided to call Tamu Safaris on a word-of-mouth recommendation. With that single phone call, she decided to switch over to Tamu Safaris. Two months later, she was in Kenya, a single mother with three children, counting elephants at the edge of the alkaline plains in Amboseli National Park. There were 113 animals in total, one of the largest remaining elephant herds in East Africa. Before Amboseli, Mrs. Muir spent several nights in Masai Mara's little known Sekenani Valley, a place teeming with wildlife. Following Amboseli, she spent four days relaxing amid palm trees and the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean on Lamu Island, just a stone's throw off the coast of Kenya. On Lamu, the Muir family stayed in a private 800-year-old Swahili house recently declared one of Kenya's national historical monuments. From its whitewashed rooftop veranda, Mrs. Muir and her children took in the quiet sounds of Lamu town, Kenya's oldest living settlement. For a busy New Yorker from Manhattan, the absence of cars and crowds on Lamu Island provided a perfect holiday experience.

Phrang Roy, assistant president for external affairs at IFAD, says its strategy is based on property rights reform, building capacities of organizations of the indigenous peoples and investment for their economic and social empowerment. A significant proportion of the fund’s loans and grants is in support of the indigenous people in Asia and Latin America, he adds. In Asia and the Pacific region, a fifth of the total investment in the last two and half decades has been for projects for indigenous people. In Latin America and the Caribbean, where there are more than 200 indigenous ethnic groups, including ethnic minorities of African descent, IFAD has focused its programs on four strategic areas: support for indigenous people in achieving legal recognition of the territories in which they live and work; provision of technical and financial support to enable them to participate increasingly and equitably in markets; support for the mobilization of public investment to address the deficits in education, health, housing and local physical infrastructure in rural areas; and strengthening of indigenous organizations so that they can participate efficiently in the management of natural resource conservation programs.
