Stocking, MichaelTitle Agricultural Biodiversity in Smallholder Farms of East Africa Publication Date 2003 Place of Publication Tokyo Publisher United Nations University Pages CCXLV, 245 Language eng Abstract Biodiversity is a key global concern of the international community. Extinction rates of species and rare varieties of biota. are reportedly accelerating to alarming levels. Especially in tropical developing countries where biodiversity is naturally rich but human beings are poor, conservation of biodiversity cannot be confined to protected areas. Conservation must address landscapes – or the 94 per cent of the earth's surface that is not designated as a protected area – that are managed for plant cultivation, pastoralism, forests, recreation, and other occupations that support human livelihoods. That is why this book is to be applauded for bringing to out attention the diversity of ways that biodiversity is being protected on smallholder farms in a part of Africa long famed for the variety of and richness of its flora and fauna. East African smallholder farmers are pre-eminently the guardians of both the biodiversity surrounding them and the knowledge to manage it. UNBIS Thesaurus BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
