Description

Winner of the Prix Pierre Chauleur of the French Academie des Sciences d'Outre-Mer Until some way is found of dealing with Africa's catastrophic environmental crises none of the continent's other problems will find a long-term solution.

Yet there is hope, and Crisis and Opportunity sets out a programme for dealing with the problems successfully.

Written in a clear and engaging style, the book shows how environmental management can be achieved and institutionalized from within Africa, rather than through interference from the West, by implementing National Environmental Action Plans (NEAPS).

Aware of the urgency of the problems, Francois Falloux and Lee Talbot offer practical guidelines based on direct experience and incorporate a great range of relevant case studies and examples.

Their book will be of enormous importance to the governments, local communities and development agencies confronting the issues, and may mark a milestone if recovery in Africa is to take place.

Francois Falloux is Senior Environmental Advisor, Africa Region at the World Bank.

Dr Lee M Talbot is a former Director-General of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Originally published in 1993
