Sustainable development of the palm oil sector in the Congo Basin
The Congo Basin is rich in biodiversity and stores an estimated 25%-30% of the world’s tropical forest carbon stocks. As agricultural land becomes increasingly scarce in Southeast Asia, and regulatory pressures continue to intensify, the Congo Basin could become the next frontier for oil palm expansion. Most of the roughly 280 million hectares (Mha) of additional land suitable for oil palm in the Congo Basin are found in the Democratic Republic of Congo (60%), Cameroon (11%) and the Republic of Congo (10%). Many heavily forested countries in the Congo Basin are setting national targets to increase production to meet national and regional demands. Land area allocated to oil palm increased b...
REDD+ policy implementation and institutional interplay
There is evidence that institutions related to climate change and natural resource management influence each other’s performance, and that local settings also shape policy outcomes. We examine how policy implementation processes and institutional interactions affect the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program in Cameroon. Research on REDD+ implementation has focused on resource tenure, benefit-sharing and participation, giving less attention to how implementation paradigms and other institutions affect REDD+. We combine a policy implementation framework with the theories of institutional interaction to examine how REDD+ implementation typologies, and in...
Développement de la filière huile de palme dans le bassin du Congo
Doté d’une abondante biodiversité, le bassin du Congo renferme, d’après les estimations, 25 à 30 % du stock de carbone présent dans les forêts tropicales du globe. Face à la raréfaction des terres disponibles et à l’intensification des réglementations con
L'industrialisation par le bas : une autre passerelle de la construction du développement économique au Cameroun
Depuis son indépendance, l'État du Cameroun a impulsé la création de plusieurs unités industrielles afin de développer son économie. Sauf que l'industrialisation par le haut, si elle se voulait mieux encadrée pour échapper aux abus du capital, se heurte néanmoins à l'inefficacité de son modèle économique, à des conflits sociaux sur les lieux d'implantation, à la survivance des pratiques coloniales. Il faut penser différemment l'interaction entre l'industrie africaine et son territoire d'opération. Les neuf articles de ce premier volume des mélanges offerts à la professeure Aurore Sara Sophie Ngo Balépa ont approfondi une pansée de la remédiation du développement au sein de la géographie, l'industrialisation par le bas. C'est une vision horizontale, endogène et solidaire du développement, pour laquelle les industries doivent être portées par les populations, prioritairement pour leurs besoins et pour leur bien-être. Une perspective alternative donc, s'appuyant sur des savoir-faire locaux en matière industrielle et sur leur valorisation à des échelles macros.
Handbook of Research on Emerging Developments and Environmental Impacts of Ecological Chemistry
Pollution has been a developing problem for quite some time in the modern world, and it is no secret how these chemicals negatively affect the environment. With these contaminants penetrating the earth’s water supply, affecting weather patterns, and threatening human health, it is critical to study the interaction between commercially produced chemicals and the overall ecosystem. Understanding the nature of these pollutants, the extent in which they are harmful to humans, and quantifying the total risks are a necessity in protecting the future of our world. The Handbook of Research on Emerging Developments and Environmental Impacts of Ecological Chemistry is an essential reference source that discusses the process of chemical contributions and their behavior within the environment. Featuring research on topics such as organic pollution, biochemical technology, and food quality assurance, this book is ideally designed for environmental professionals, researchers, scientists, graduate students, academicians, and policymakers seeking coverage on the main concerns, approaches, and solutions of ecological chemistry in the environment.
Chemical Nature of Groundwater and its Bioremediation
Water and land are precious natural resources for the agricultural activities, which are prerequisite for any civilization. Rapid industrialization and urbanization exploit and severely pollute these resources. The organic and inorganic pollutants generate an unfavourable environment for the survival of aquatic flora and fauna by affecting the aquatic ecosystems. The increasing urbanization, industrial revolution, advancement of technologies, etc. are the reasons for increased pollution level. Pollution is the discharge of the contaminating substances that have adverse effects on the environment. It reduces the quality of the environment by contaminating it with impurities. Smoke and dust pa...
The palm oil global value chain
There is abundant literature focusing on the palm oil sector, which has grown into a vigorous sector with production originating mainly from Malaysia and Indonesia, and on increased palm oil consumption in many countries around the globe, particularly European Union states, China and India. This sector expansion has become quite controversial, because while it has negative social and environmental impacts, it also leads to positive benefits in generating fiscal earnings for producing countries and regular income streams for a large number of large- and small-scale growers involved in palm oil production. This document reviews how the social, ecological, and environmental dynamics and associa...
Trace Elements in Abiotic and Biotic Environments
This book helps readers understand the fundamental principles and phenomena that control the transfer of trace elements. It describes the occurrence and behavior of trace elements in rocks, soil, water, air, and plants, and also discusses the anthropogenic impact to the environment. In addition, the book covers the presence of trace elements in feeds, as either contaminants or as nutritional or zootechnical additives, and their transfer across the food chain to humans. All trace elements are covered-from aluminum to zirconium-as well as rare-earth elements (actinides and lanthanides).
Geology and Mineral Resources of Nigeria
Contains details on the geological units of Nigeria and the associated mineral resources. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses the geology of the crystalline rocks and their regional distribution while the sedimentary basins constitute the subject of Part 2. Part 3 takes the mineral resources of Nigeria one on one, their geological environment, mode of occurrence, localities and where possible the reserves estimation. Thereafter, an account of the previous and current mining policies (including that of petroleum) of the Nigerian government is given and goes ahead to list some specific investment opportunities in the solid minerals sector.
Cellular Biology of the Endoplasmic Reticulum
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the biology of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the associated ER proteins, it discusses their structure, function and signaling mechanisms in the cell and their role in disease. This book also offers insights into the practical aspects of research and demonstrates the use of non-mammalian models to study the structure and function of the ER. Written by leading experts in the field, the book enables readers to gain a thorough understanding of current ER biology. It is intended for scientists and clinical researchers working on the endoplasmic reticulum in all its various roles and facets in health and disease.
