Winner of the Prix Pierre Chauleur of the French Academie des
Sciences d'Outre-Mer Until some way is found of dealing with
Africa's catastrophic environmental crises none of the continent's
other problems will find a long-term solution. Yet there is hope,
and Crisis and Opportunity sets out a programme for dealing with
the problems successfully. Written in a clear and engaging style,
the book shows how environmental management can be achieved and
institutionalized from within Africa, rather than through
interference from the West, by implementing National Environmental
Action Plans (NEAPS). Aware of the urgency of the problems,
Francois Falloux and Lee Talbot offer practical guidelines based on
direct experience and incorporate a great range of relevant case
studies and examples. Their book will be of enormous importance to
the governments, local communities and development agencies
confronting the issues, and may mark a milestone if recovery in
Africa is to take place. Francois Falloux is Senior Environmental
Advisor, Africa Region at the World Bank. Dr Lee M Talbot is a
former Director-General of the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
