The forests of the Rumpi Hills also contain what is commonly referred to as the Rumpi Hills Forest Reserve or previously known as the Rumpi Hills Native Administration Forest Reserve created by Forestry Ordinance No 38 of 1937 and approved by Forestry Ordinance No 16756/79 of 2nd July, 1941 (SWPA, 2016). The North Boundary is the road from Lipenja Mukete through Ikoi and Dikome Ngolo to Madie; the South Boundary goes through Nalende, Monyange, Itoki and Ilor to Moko. Whereas the East Boundary, goes through Dikome Balue, Mofako, Itende to Bisoro; the West Boundary goes through Dibonda and Ndian and Ituka to Lipenja which is also the starting point of the reserve (SWPA, 2016). These boundaries give the Rumpi Hills Forest Reserve a characteristic inverted letter “C” shape and structure, see figure 7.
The reserve is composed of land belonging to the Ngolo, Bima and Balue tribes, the first two form part of the North West while the latter, forms part of the South East area. Most of the villages are on top of the hills, so that, a more or less vertical climb of anything up to 400 meters has to be faced before reaching a village or settlement.
The proposal that, part of the Rumpi Hills forests should be made a forest reserve was first made by Mr Rosevear in a memorandum written in 1933 on the potential forest reserves of the Kumba Division, Cameroon (SWPA, 2016). The actual preliminary survey of the area was done by Mr F.S Collier in 1937, after a tour round the approximate
The wilderness and forests need to be saved for the future generations, and a sort of “wilderness bank” needs to be formed in order to keep the reality of the wilderness alive and keep mankind grounded to the earth.
Many of the farming methods in this region are from the British and some have being added over time. This region was filled with trees and native wild life but when the white came a lot of the land was cleared and made farms or for grazing animals. There are about 820
There are many potential land uses for the Tambopata Reserve. One of which, that gains much environmentalist backing, is slash and burn agriculture. While this method of agriculture has long traditionally been employed and
Of all the features upon the earth there are some ascribed with special significance. These features, whether caves, lakes, deserts, outcroppings, or something else entirely, hold tremendous relevance for the groups that dwell near them. Such beliefs in the worth and importance of such sites are entrusted from one passing generation to the next. These beliefs, and the physical objects they rest upon, become increasingly vital to that group’s identity as a people. One such group is the Teton Lakota of the Sioux Nation in South Dakota, an area that has been home to them for hundreds of years and, while their entire homeland is precious to them, of particular importance are the Black Hills, or Paha Sapa as they are called in Lakota.
Though today, the Blackfoot territory is defined by reserve/reservation boundaries and divided by the United States-Canadian border, their homeland, Nitawahsinnanni (“our land”), continues to be defined by topographical features using their language (The Blackfoot Gallery Committee, 2013, 12). This traditional homeland spans from the North Saskatchewan River (Ponokasisahta, the Elk River) as far south as the Yellowstone River, Montana (Otahkoitahtayi) and from the Rocky Mountains as far East as the “Great Sand Hills
Looming over Marin County and San Francisco, iconic Mount Tamalpais rises over 2500 feet almost directly above the bay. Most of this mountain is a state park, and there are many miles of hiking and biking trails. Remember that mountain biking got its start here, and most of the old fire roads are open to both hikers and bikers. The good news is that, unlike many other biking areas, these bikers seem to be considerate of hikers.
Even in the Kono district of Sierra Leone, where the land was once thought to be beyond repair, land restoration is improving the landscape. Local communities are now working with international partners to fill in the mining pits, bring back native species, and replace lost topsoil. To further these efforts, Brilliant Earth’s non-profit fund has supported land restoration programs in the Kono district, helping to revive the local ecosystem and make former mining lands available for productive farming.
The name of my tribe is the Eastern Woodlands. The location of my tribe is in the Southeast portion of North America. The Eastern Woodlands have more than one tribe. Two of them were called the Mohawks and Huron. The Eastern Woodlands covered up the East Coast of North America from the Atlantic to the West of the Mississippi River. This is some of the information about my tribe called the Eastern
The conservation area has been well maintained by the management. the surroundings are peaceful and kept clean. The management is utilizing the resources to generate revenue and at the same time promoting physical activities among the community.
The life among the Eastern Woodlands was extremely different and interesting. It is very clear that they definitely had religious values. They had a church, or as classified, a place of assembly for prayer; along with prayer, they had dance ceremonies and a ceremonial fire. I can infer that they believed in a Great Spirit, which coordinated the world. I suspect that this world not only accommodated them, but also the plants and other surroundings. The corn is guarded, which definitely expresses how much it was valued in their society. There does not seem to be any animals present in the picture, which means they may have been used for food or clothing.
Researching place-names of Indigenous origin requires an understanding of Indigenous principles of naming places, of the application of names to geographic areas, and for each name the historical circumstances that have taken place there. Basso came to realize this can all become very challenging due to language barriers, he writes,
The Willandra National Park contains some very important sites of the aboriginal people. There are also many resources such as food, water and travelling route for the Ngiyampaa Wangaaypuwan people. There are other importance such the surrounding land is also used for cattle grazing, the creeks within the park provide the habitats for animals and last but not least --- containing the ecosystem formed with many flora and fauna. Because of all the things that have been said above, you, local council and the state government have put in management plans for the protection of the land.
My groups goals in the Tropical Rainforest is to make a living from Rubber Tapping, but because of certain deforestation methods like clear-cutting Rubber trees are becoming scarce. The process of rubber tapping a tree is much like getting maple syrup from a maple tree and in no way is harmful. In order to protect our goals of making a living off Rubber Tapping we are asking for protected reserves of part of the
In the chapter First the Forests in the book Forests: The Shadow of Civilization by Robert Harrison, used Greek mythology and modern day philosophers to connect how forests interact through civilization. The popular themes in this chapter plays along Vicos theory of the intuitional order with the quotation “This was the order of human institutions: first the forests, after that the huts, then the villages, next the cities, and finally the academies” (Pg.11). In the epic of Gilgamesh the first antagonist was the forest. This emphasized how the forest was wild and dangerous. The Greek god Artemis would roam in the forest hiding in the shadows of the trees. The forest is a place of wild and of disorder. Actaeon went to the forest and saw Artemis
The reserve is surrounded by highly modified landscapes dominated by intensive agricultural and horticultural land use. Common land use for surrounding areas include the growing of cereal crops, grapes and citrus (DOC Gray's Bush. n.d).
