DEFORESTATION AND REFORESTATION IN NAMIBIA; THE GLOBAL CONSEQUENCES OF LOCAL CONTRADICTIONS
CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
Firearms and iron technology shaped local southern African environments in nonlinear and unexpected ways. Some invasive germs caused deadly virgin soil epidemics in Africa, echoing the impact of smallpox in the Americas and paving the way for colonial conquest. But some of the invasive germs and guns and steel turned against colonialism, and caused colonial projects to veer sharply off course with unexpected environmental consequences. Whether caused by colonialism, population pressure, technology or invasive species, environmental change consequently should be understood to be multidirectional, involving multiple sub-processes with plural outcomes. Despite path-breaking research in the past two to three decades, the study of local and global environmental change is constrained by the conceptualization of change as a singular process that is both linear and homogenous. Global Consequences
Such a conceptualization creates two paradoxes that cannot satisfactorily be explained within the current frameworks and that are here referred to as the Palenque Paradox and the Ovambo Paradox. Depicting environmental change in linear fashion within a Nature-Culture dichotomy has been rejected in theory. In practice, however, environmental change overwhelmingly continues to be assessed in terms of singular and exclusive degradation, improvement or stability/equilibrium outcomes. The degradation-or-improvement-or-equilibrium framework is derived from the modernization, the declinist and the inclinist paradigms, all of which share the premise that environmental change occurs along a single and irreversible Nature-to-Culture pathway.Global Consequences
The modernization paradigm posits environmental change as a progression from a primitive state of Nature to an advanced state of Culture, resulting in a state-controlled and scientifically exploited environment. The declinist paradigm regards human interference in pristine Nature as a disturbance that leads to a downward-spiraling process of environmental degradation that ultimately might cause the destruction of ecosystem Earth. In contrast to the largely pessimistic outlook of the declinists, and similarly to the modernizers, the inclinists are optimistic about humans’ ability to mitigate the degrading effects of environmental change.Global Consequences

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the material for “Design and Implementation of an Expert Medical Diagnosis and Prescription System” be used as a guide for Computer Science (CS) Project?
Yes it can be used — As the need of system almost every activity man can perform increase, software for the admission of students into polytechnics should not be left out. This software can process the credentials of 1000 credentials in about 20 minutes higher one computer operator if provided with the required data and this would have taken about 4 people 12 hours to do. This project was borne out of the necessite to address the inherent problem encountered by staff of the admission department and students of Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic Uwana, Afikpo. The manual processes involved in the admission of students were critically examined and the flows noted. The software often to a great extent, the solutions to these problems. The project went further to …
Can this topic “Book Recommendation System for Students” be used for Computer Science (CS) Project?
Yes it can be utilized for research — Book Recommendation system is software program that help a user to find products according to their needs and interests by using the user’s rating of each item and the user’s preferences.

In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to develop a software that will save the precious time of customer and very efficient to use, design a system that will provide large number of choices for books and also recommend for books, design system that will enable user to buy book easily by making online payment, and design a …
Can the material for “The Practice of Entrepreneurship in Nigeria” be used as a guide for Business Administration and Management (BAM) Project?
Yes it can be used — Entrepreneurship as we all know is a self employed business which is written for student who must live in a world influenced by business activities, because without business human being cannot operate on his own self. The aim of this project is to provide both student who have graduated from the university and still seeking for job either in federal or private work to be self employed. Nigerians are now forced to start a fresh re-wakening to the challenges and realities of true national that is a creation of new emphasis on self-employment. Graduates and school leavers are now realizing that government have no interest to come to there and through paid employment. Some problem, business men encounter during this self employed job …
Is the topic “Design and Implementation of a Web Based Information System for Security” recommended for Computer Science (CS) Project?
Yes it is highly recommended — Security information system has always played a vital role in the stability of a nation. The aim of the study is to Design and Implement a database for security information storage and retrieval. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were set out to build a database system for police security information, develop a software for managing security information, and determine the effectiveness of Nigerian police in managing signal. The motivation that led to the implementation of the new Security Information System is that, keeping security information manually in the existing system can hinder some defense program and delay passage of security information to the appropriate body and the manual documentation of security information can lead to exposure of …
