This experience is the basis for successful national and local efforts in Africa in Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania. The UNEP is cooperating to share this knowledge globally. The global implications to transform large areas of the planet’s ecosystem and climate cannot be under-estimated. This represents a paradigm shift in human understanding and behavior. It is a critical component of the knowledge needed to address many of our most pressing concerns, including food security, fresh water, habitat, poverty, income disparity and even climate change. </p><p><a href="http://www.pamirlaw.com/en/news/2008/05/global-lessons-ecological-rehabilitation-loess-plateau">read more</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/pamirlaw?a=RHfc61cESuc:5AdIpr4MahI:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/pamirlaw?a=RHfc61cESuc:5AdIpr4MahI:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Sichuan Earthquake Donations</h1> <p>admin — Wed, 14 May 2008 00:00:00 +0000</p> <div> <p>Pamir colleagues have made a donation through the Tzu Chi foundation and we encourage clients and friends to also show their solidarity with the victims of the earthquake in the Sichuan province.</p> <p><a href="http://www.pamirlaw.com/en/news/2008/05/sichuan-earthquake-donations">read more</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/pamirlaw?a=MS6xWamenCE:IXJC7GLOh2U:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/pamirlaw?a=MS6xWamenCE:IXJC7GLOh2U:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Jason Blatt Interviewed on TVBS Regarding Papua New Guinea Diplomatic Scandal</h1> <p>admin — Thu, 08 May 2008 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>Associate Jason Blatt was interviewed by TVBS News channel in its coverage of an alleged embezzlement scandal involving the disappearance of Taiwan government funds intended for Papua New Guinea.
