Le Prix du pardon forms the base in a book that was written by Mbissane Ngome, who, with similar characteristics to Wade, forms the coast of Senegal, where the background of the story is set.

Why are low lying islands affected by climate change?

How will islands be affected? What will happen to the populations of inundated islands? Burkett, M. “In Search of Refuge: Pacific Islands, Climate-Induced Migration, and the Legal Frontier.” Asia - Pacific Issues 98 (2011): 1-8. Within the next fifty years people in the low lying Pacific Islands will be forced to leave their homes because of increased frequency and intensity of storms and floods, sea-level rise, and desertification. Many will not only lose their homes, but also their nation. If plans are not put in place to address this, it could cause a humanitarian disaster and political chaos? ...

The commons problem

The tragedy of the commons is the destruction of the environment that occurs when many people use a limited resource in common (Ostrom, 2015). According to Garret Hardin (1968), the population usually grows exponentially, but the world available to the human population is finite. Therefore, for the finite world to support the human population, the population growth rate should be zero. However, this is not the case hence it is impossible to maximise the good to more than one person or group of persons at the same time. Hardin (1968) disagrees with Bentham’s goal which is to achieve ...

Regions are essential in any area because they make one part of the area different from the other. In Canada, vast geographic distances divide the different population centers that emerge quite naturally since they developed from the initial trade routes established by the native populations. Different regions show diverse differences between each other. The issue of regionalism brings about the key differences between one region and another. Regionalism arises because of the development of the huge geographical differences, which separate one region from another (Harry, 2006).

Geographical features form the first dimension for the identification of regions while economic ...

Acheson reviews several classic examples of managing environmental resources in his essay. There are some institutional regimes, which have been in operation for a long period without degrading the available resources. In addition, ...

Reefs and shorelines are some of the most instrumental features of natural water bodies. Consequently, they should be preserved and kept clean. Keeping shorelines clean helps preserve the water quality and keep the water in the water bodies clean. The vegetation found in the shorelines filters surface runoff before the runoff can reach the water. Consequently, pollutants such as pesticides, manure, fertilizers, motor fluids and sediments, that may be present in the runoff, are prevented from entering the water. These pollutants can affect the aquatic animals and the water ecosystem in many ways. For instance, deposition of a large amount ...
