DocumentTechnical reportLivestock Service Delivery in Andhra Pradesh: Veterinarians’ Perspective
Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative: A Living from Livestock
2005Also available in:
No results found.Andhra Pradesh has a strong, well qualified, committed and forward looking State Animal Husbandry Department (AHD). The state has a large network of veterinary infrastructure (veterinary dispensaries, hospitals and polyclinics, rural livestock units, and AI centres) and individuals - professional veterinarians and the para-veterinary staff. However, changing internal and external environments require the animal health and breeding service delivery system to become more dynamic and needs-oriented , financially sustainable, and closer to the ground. Veterinarians are a critical part and major stakeholder of any livestock service delivery system. They are the link with the livestock owners and hence have insights into the ground level reality. To inform the Livestock Service Delivery Reform process in the state of Andhra Pradesh (AP) being facilitated by PPLPI-CALPI, it was important to also get their perspective on the main issues and constraints they faced and to elicit some suggestions on enhancing the quality and reach of the livestock services in the state.

ArticleJournal articleVisitors' perception of crowding in Mount Makiling Forest Reserve ASEAN Heritage Park
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Ecotourism has been gaining popularity today due to people being more environmentally aware and along with the growth of social media, people easily find more destinations to explore. Along with its growth, the number of people starts to crowd one specific destination and that’s when a particular visitor experiences the feeling of “overcrowding”. Online survey was done where each respondent was asked to evaluate the acceptability of several use levels as shown in four computer edited photographs of the Mariang Makiling Trail (MMT). Respondents between 20 and 60 years old participated in the study. Majority have attained college level education, and male were the more frequent visitors than women. The respondents come mostly in groups and sightseeing, or nature experience was the main motivation for visiting the site. Most of the respondents said they saw about 5 to 15 other people during their visit. In terms of preferred number of visitors while engaging in recreational activities, most of them said it is acceptable for them to have at least 5-15 other people. Furthermore, they also expressed 15 other people as the maximum number of visitors they feel is acceptable for them and a higher number of visitors will make them stop visiting the area. In terms of attitude towards crowding and satisfaction, majority of the respondents enjoyed their trip in Mt. Makiling, while at the same time; most of them only feel crowded when the maximum number of fellow users based on the photographs. Other findings based on the results of this study can provide insights to decision makers to manage more effectively the arrival and flow of visitors to avoid the feeling of overcrowding for each visitor and ensure the quality of their experiences during their visit.

No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
