No results found.Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis, a deadly, neglected tropical disease, is a major challenge for mixed livestock–crop agriculture in more than 10 million km2 of the most productive land in sub-Saharan Africa. The disease also threatens the lives of over 57 million people, particularly the poorest in rural areas. The direct and indirect losses caused by African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) are estimated at billions of dollars every year. To address the challenges posed by AAT, FAO, in collaboration with the key international and national stakeholders, is promoting the Progressive Control Pathway (PCP) for AAT. The PCP provides affected countries with an innovative strategic framework for planning, implementing and monitoring cost-effective field interventions. The overall objective of the PCP is to improve food security and decrease poverty by reducing and, where feasible, eliminating, the burden of AAT. Progress in AAT control will also contribute to ongoing efforts to eliminate human African trypanosomosis (sleeping sickness) through the One Health framework. -

Yeom of Malaysia, drawing upon his experience as a forest-resources manager in Southeast Asia, evaluates available information and weighs both positive and negative aspects of the development of lesser-known species within the wider context of resource-management efforts. From the United States, James S. Bethel, with extensive practical forestry experience at both national and international levels, evaluates, from the standpoint of the user, the facts and the conclusions that he and other well-known experts in the field of forest-resource development have drawn from them. Both articles - not least because of the contrasting views expressed - provide thought-provoking insights and information for those concerned with the formulation and implementation of action programmes for lesser-known species.
