Comparative Criminology Africa - Niger In the 19th century, contact with the West began when the first European explorers--notably Mungo Park (British) and Heinrich Barth (German)--explored the area searching for the mouth of the Niger River. Niger is a poor, landlocked Sub-Saharan nation, whose economy centers on subsistence agriculture, animal husbandry, reexport trade, and increasingly less on uranium, because of declining world demand. Niger's independent judicial system is composed of four higher courts--the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court, the High Court of Justice and the Court of State Security. www-rohan.sdsu.edu /faculty/rwinslow/africa/niger.html

Chapter 3.2 - Action Plan Those in Natal outside the Kruger National Park are mainly confined to the large rivers in the eastern and northern regions of the province. His estimate is 6,900, of which 5,530 occur in national parks or reserves, 1,020 on communal lands and 350 elsewhere. The principal concentrations of the species in Uganda are in the two large national parks, Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth. www.iucn.org /themes/ssc/sgs/pphsg/APchap3-2.htm

Sherpa Guides Tennessee The Tennessee Mountains Upper Cumberland Plateau Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area A brochure prepared by Historic Rugby and the National Park Service available from the visitor centers at Bandy Creek in the BSFNRRA or the Rugby Schoolhouse warns hikers to beware of timber rattlers, copperheads, ticks, and poison ivy. Park in the parking area and hike south along the east side of the river. Because management guidelines in a national recreation area are less restrictive than in a national park, visitors to BSFNRRA may enjoy traditional park activities such as hiking, horseback riding, and primitive camping as well as nontraditional activities including four-wheel driving, hunting, and trapping. www.sherpaguides.com /tennessee/upper_cumberland_plateau/big_south_fork_nra.html

Chapter IV - Analysis of the national park system The National Parks and Protected Areas system in relation to cultural landmarks should be concerned primarily with in situ conservation and interpretation of monuments, sites, and structures which are representative of the various aspects of human life during the course of country's history. One of the primordial concerns of a National Parks and Protected Areas program is the protection of species and assemblages of species referred to as ecosystems. The links between urban heritage preservation and the establishment of a national park system however are significant and should be strengthened whenever feasible. www.oas.org /usde/publications/Unit/oea51e/ch07.htm

CPD: South America, Site SA11, Lowlands of Manu National Park: Cocha Cashu Biological Station, Peru The forests of the rich-soil Upper Amazonian region represented by Manu NP probably include a disproportionate number of the general region's economically important plants, and they are exceptionally important to maintain germplasm for future programmes of genetic improvement (Gentry 1985; Phillips and Gentry 1993). Manu National Park was established in 1973 covering 15,328 km², and in 1977 an area encompassing 18,812 km² was declared a Biosphere Reserve under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme. The park includes the entire watershed of the Manu River and part of the catchment area of the Alto Madre de Dios River. nmnhgoph.si.edu /botany/projects/cpd/sa/sa11.htm

Protected Areas Programme - The best known and largest ethnic group within the park is the Machiguenga, found throughout the area with the exception of the highlands and upper parts of the Manu river. These peoples are considered part of the park's natural system, and are left to use the park as they please while their lifestyle does not threaten the park's objectives. On the eastern limit of the park (Pinipini, Pitama and Tono rivers) and on the south boundary of the park (uplands) there are illegal and licensed loggers. www.unep-wcmc.org /sites/wh/manu.html

Mount Rainier National Park (Nature Notes) The male has the gorgeous ruby throat, green upper back changing to rufous on the lower back, whitish underparts; the female lacks the ruby throat, it being replaced with soft grayish stripes. They inhabit the northern sections of the park, especially about Mystic Lake, the land of flowers, but they also summer on the hot slopes of Stevens Canyon. The birds may be considered almost common in the park, and are recorded near the boundaries on all sides. www.nps.gov /mora/notes/vol17-3-4c10.htm

Rocky Mountain National Park The Apache appear to have been in the park for at least 400 years, as based on the presence of their pottery and historical accounts of a battle with the Arapaho in the 1830s in Upper Beaver Meadow. Rocky Mountain National Park, with an area of 265,765 acres (107,551 hectares), is located in the US State of Colorado. The National Park Service purchased private lands and removed buildings, roads, post offices, driveways, irrigation ditches, and fences. www.innvista.com /science/ecology/parks/rockymtn.htm

Untitled Document The aim of this program was to free the zone in the valley of the River Niger of the disease, with a view to using the area for animal farming. Since being declared a zone of refuge in 1926, the “W” Park, in the eyes of colonial federal administration based in Dakar, was an entity governed in accordance with French colonial law. In fact, during the colonial period, the only occasion when the uniqueness of the park was acknowledged was for scientific studies or for touristic activities. www.worldwildlife.org /bsp/publications/africa/108/190/chap3.htm

Biebrza National Park The Biebrza National Park covers a large part of the Biebrza Valley on a huge depression over 100 km long, filled with a layer of peat, several metres thick, formed during Central Polish and Baltic glaciations. It was established in 1993 and with total area of 59,223 ha is the largest among Polish national parks. The main hydrologic axis of the park is the Biebrza river, 159 km long (in the park's area) and characterised by very small descents (between 0.006 and 0.333 %). www.mos.gov.pl /kzpn/en/bieb_gb.htm

Scoop: Kaikoura Ranges Proposed as National Park Under the National Parks Act 1980 the Authority can recommend to the Minister of Conservation that the area deserves formal investigation for a new national park. A national park is likely to benefit both recreation and tourism though improved facilities, access and management," he said. A Kaikoura Ranges national park would give dryland landscapes and their specialised rock and scree plant communities and habitats long overdue recognition, Forest and Bird Protection Society says. www.scoop.co.nz /stories/PO0210/S00138.htm

North Cascades National Park: Terrestrial Riparian Arthropod Investigations North Cascades National Park was established to preserve certain majestic mountain scenery, snow fields, glaciers, alpine meadows, and other unique natural features in the North Cascade Mountains for the benefit, use, and inspiration of present and future generations. Primary objectives of the National Park Service Natural Resource Management Program are to manage the natural resources to maintain, restore, and perpetuate the inherent integrity of ecosystems and their component habitats and community assemblages. A survey of the terrestrial riparian Arthropod fauna of Big Beaver Creek, North Cascades National Park (Washington) was conducted during snow-free seasons of 1995 and 1996. www.nps.gov /noca/arthropod1.htm

West and Central Africa Sub-Regional... It became apparent from the presentation that the problem was not that of formulation of a National Agenda 21, but rather its implementation which depended on the political will of the decisions-makers of the countries concerned. The protection of these forests and the biodiversity convention are a source of national and regional concern.9 National, sub-regional and even regional institutions have evolved positively toward addressing new issues embodied in the resolutions adopted in Rio. www.ecouncil.ac.cr /rio/regional/africa/wcentafr.htm
