Book Synopsis The impacts of artisanal gold mining on local livelihoods and the environment in the forested areas of Cameroon by : Kevin N. Funoh
Download or read book The impacts of artisanal gold mining on local livelihoods and the environment in the forested areas of Cameroon written by Kevin N. Funoh and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the impact of artisanal gold mining in the Ngoyla-Mintom Forest Massif (NMFM) on local livelihoods and the environment. The methodology for the research consisted in a literature review, visits to eight mining camps in the periphery of Mintom, interviews with 95 miners, focus group discussions with actors involved in activities related to gold mining, and stakeholder consultations. The results show that miners earn a minimum of XAF 80,000 (US$ 160) per month, which is about three times the average wage in Cameroon (XAF 28,216 or US$56) and as much as XAF 800,000 (US$ 1600) a month. Mining leads to the creation of many associated activities such as portering, catering and the intensification of hunting, collection of NTFPs, and fishing, among others. The most negative social impact of mining is associated with activities such as prostitution, which leads to the quick spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV/AIDS. Mining and its associated activities also have negative impacts on the environment such as destruction of fragile forest ecosystems especially swamps, diversion, sedimentation and pollution of small water ways, and soil destruction, although at a relatively small scale.

Book Synopsis Local Livelihoods and Protected Area Management by : Emmanuel Neba Ndenecho
Download or read book Local Livelihoods and Protected Area Management written by Emmanuel Neba Ndenecho and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon's tropical forest is home to numerous plants and animals. It is also inhabited by Baka pygmies who are foragers and Bantu farmers. These communities have developed forest-dependent livelihoods, cultures and religions. Destruction of the forest by commercial and state interests, subsistence agriculture and the harvesting of products has necessitated a considerable upsurge in environmental protection projects to conserve and rehabilitate ecosystems, forests, soils and water resources. Ultimately, the approach to conservation that is applied is the responsibility of the government and international development agencies. The case studies documented seek to demonstrate that a broader perspective linking environmental protection and human welfare is important for two reasons. First, it addresses the rights and needs of local people and more marginal groups in society. Second, it also ensures that fundamental conservation objectives are achieved in practice with the participation of local people. The book develop guidelines for a more integrative and socially-aware approach to environmental planning and project design and implementation. It outlines a participatory mapping procedure for the design and implementation of community forest programmes. This is a valuable book for land resource managers, environmentalists, environmental biologists, conservators, field workers and technicians involved with environmental conservation. With the professionalisation of courses in most universities, the book will constitute good reading for students of geography, biology, agriculture, forestry, botany and natural resource management.

Book Synopsis Mining and Social Transformation in Africa by : Deborah Fahy Bryceson
Download or read book Mining and Social Transformation in Africa written by Deborah Fahy Bryceson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than three decades of economic malaise, many African countries are experiencing an upsurge in their economic fortunes linked to the booming international market for minerals. Spurred by the shrinking viability of peasant agriculture, rural dwellers have been engaged in a massive search for alternative livelihoods, one of the most lucrative being artisanal mining. While an expanding literature has documented the economic expansion of artisanal mining, this book is the first to probe its societal impact, demonstrating that artisanal mining has the potential to be far more democratic and emancipating than preceding modes. Delineating the paradoxes of artisanal miners working alongside the expansion of large-scale mining investment in Africa, Mining and Social Transformation in Africa concentrates on the Tanzanian experience. Written by authors with fresh research insights, focus is placed on how artisanal mining is configured in relation to local, regional and national mining investments and social class differentiation. The work lives and associated lifestyles of miners and residents of mining settlements are brought to the fore, asking where this historical interlude is taking them and their communities in the future. The question of value transfers out of the artisanal mining sector, value capture by elites and changing configurations of gender, age and class differentiation, all arise.

Download or read book African Gold written by Roman Grynberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the evolving economics of gold as a global commodity as well as the production and trade of gold in and from the African continent. The growth of gold as an increasingly important and diverse source of African wealth is examined, alongside the impact that the rise of China in the 21st century has had on the demand for gold. The volatility of the gold price has increased as a result of the dramatic decline of gold demand for manufacturing purposes. Gold is Africa’s second largest export after oil and is a perfect metaphor for a continent rich in resources while so much of its population lives in such dire poverty. The artisanal and small scale gold mining (ASGM) sector, is surprisingly widely perceived as being beneficial to the development of Africa despite its exploitation and dreadful health and environmental consequences. African Gold: Production, Trade and Economic Development considers policy issues regarding the gold mining sector, the economics of beneficiation, the retreat of jewelry manufacturing across the continent as well as ‘Africa’s golden future’. It is a relevant book for both academics and policymakers interested in Africa, natural resource, and development economics.

Book Synopsis Mineral Resources Economy 1 by : Floriant Fizaine
Download or read book Mineral Resources Economy 1 written by Floriant Fizaine and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The constant increase in the consumption of mineral resources, as well as the growing awareness of their exploitation, is causing deep concern within the scientific community. This concern is justified by the fact that the energy transition will increase the pressure on these resources, as renewable energies require an increased and more diversified quantity of mineral materials. This book presents an overview of the exploitation of these mineral resources, where the natural, regulatory and environmental constraints interfere with economic, financial and geopolitical interests. By mobilizing the fields of the humanities, geosciences and engineering, it also analyzes the challenges that the energy transition will encounter, challenges related to the contradictory effects that the acceleration of the extraction of these resources will have on their physical availability, the economies that exploit them and the populations that live off of them

Download or read book Small-scale Gold Mining and Livelihood Vulnerability written by Edward Abbiw and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghana’s Juaboso District is located at 6° 20’ north latitude and 2° 50’west longitude. The district capital is Juaboso, located 360 km northwest of Sekondi-Takoradi, the regional capital, and 225 km from Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital. The constituency encompasses a total surface area of 1,329 km2 and serves as an entry or exit point between La Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana. The main economic activity of the district is agriculture, much of which focuses on cacao,production. In the past few years, Juaboso’s communities have witnessed the invasion of small-scale gold mining operators, and the impacts of these mining activities on the environment that constitute livelihoods, in general, have garnered the attention of individuals, community interest groups, nongovernmental agencies, stakeholders, and the media. This study investigates the impacts of small-scale gold mining in two Juaboso villages, focusing on how the mining affects local livelihoods, the environmental consequences of the mining, and how local informal political institutions mediate access to natural resources. To address these issues, the study employs quantitative analysis in the form of seventeen in-depth semi-structured interviews; a modified grounded theory approach was utilized to analyze data in the form of interview transcripts. The study finds that despite the economic gain received from the mining sector in Juaboso District, small-scale gold mining has a significant negative impact on the livelihoods of farmers in the study communities that depend on cacao as their main source of making a living. Mining activities are also found to have had considerable negative effects on the local ecosystem, further endangering agricultural livelihoods. Besides, the study demonstrates that local informal political institutions may not be well suited to manage legal issues arising from mining activities. Members of these communities need to be aware of the potential impacts of small-scale gold mining on local livelihoods and natural environments.
