More People, Less Erosion: Environmental Recovery in Kenya

Editorial Reviews
The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
Uses conventional data, oral history and photographic records to examine the interactions between people and their environment over a period of 60 years. Challenges the view that population growth inevitably leads to environmental deterioration. Features valuable lessons on how resource management technologies, the right social and economic milieu and supportive policies can lead to sustainable development.
