Conflict between wildlife and people can erode local support for conservation. Wildlife-based benefits are intended to offset costs and encourage tolerance or stewardship, but where the linkage between benefits and wildlife is not understood, benefits may be ineffective at bolstering conservation. In Laikipia, Kenya, wildlife and areas devoted to wildlife are on the increase, but most residents...

Losses from the proton and antiproton beams of the Fermilab Tevatron have been shown to produce a halo which contribute to backgrounds to physics signals in the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). To provide a measure of the beam halo and losses, we have installed arrays of scintillation counters on both sides of the CDF detector. We describe here the physical configuration of these counters, ...

Abstract This paper presents the results of a detailed review research literature on how nomadic pastoralists are being affected by climate change, they adapting, and challenges with using traditional knowledge in adaptation. It focuses that investigates local, particularly traditional, water, pasture, their variability, livestock. underpins livelihoods, so is foundation for effective Changes t...

In a cultural-ecological perspective of New Zealand pastoralism the amount and form of energy supplements at different stages of pastoral development are characterized and prospects for sustainability discussed. The history of the pastoral exploitation of the tussock grasslands of South Island, New Zealand is reviewed with particular attention to physiognomic changes brought about by early fire...

Pastoralism is globally significant in social, environmental, and economic terms. However, it experiences crises rooted misconceptions poor interdisciplinary understanding, while being largely overlooked international sustainability forums agendas. Here, we propose a transdisciplinary research approach to understand pastoralist transitions using (1) economic, environmental dimensions, (2) diver...

Let M be a simply connected complex submanifold of C . We prove that M is irreducible, up a totally geodesic factor, if and only if the normal holonomy group acts irreducibly. This is an extrinsic analogue of the well-known De Rham decomposition theorem for a complex manifold. Our result is not valid in the real context, as it is shown by many counter-examples.
