Scott’s (1998) notion ‘prostrate institution’, or Hobart’s (1993) notion of ‘ignorance’, and Sillitoe’s (2007, p. 5) comment that “local people often get it right, sometimes when science gets it wrong” add to the many explanations of why policies should not be perceived as ...
exotic plants as herbal medicines. Therefore, results of the current study corroborate an earlier observation that TEK systems are a reservoir of experiential knowledge that can provide important insights for the design of adaptation and mitigation strategies to cope with global environmental change [63]...
galloprovincialis were collected and analysed for metals (μg/g dry weight) by the Department of Environmental Affairs and seven metals were analysed for this study (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Hg, Fe and Zn). Prior to 1995, all MWP samples (n = 702, average mussel length = 60.8 mm) were ...
Large-scale rollouts in communities are feasible from a production and unit availability perspective. In developing world contexts, fire safety may often be a lower priority for people compared to other needs, such as safety, health, entertain- ment, and education. Hence, large-scale rollouts ...
Therefore, humans are exposed to a range of environmental hazards but particularly percolation of polluted leachate into the shallow aquifers, which is the main source of drinking water in developing countries and in most cases, disposal sites are not properly planned. Thus, periodical environmental ...

This vegetation unit occurs along the southern Great Escarpment from the Groot-Bruintjieshoogde in the west to the Stutterheim and Komga in the Great Winterberg–Amatolas in the east (Mucina and Rutherford, 2006). On the Boschberg it is confined to the wetter summit crests and summit ...
Diffuse CO2 emission surveys were carried out at São Vicente, Brava, and Fogo islands, Cape Verde, archipelago to investigate the relationship between diffuse CO2 degassing and volcanic activity. Total amounts of diffuse CO2 discharged through the sur
