We are in 1998, during the three weeks leading up to one of this year's worst terrorist acts, namely the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar, Tanzania. The Danish former ranger Stig Jansen, is located in the country in civilian affairs and soon he's unwittingly whirled into what's going to prove to be the precursor to one of the Worlds' largest conspiracies involving the corrupt local government power, the CIA, sinister parts of the German government, Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq and a Danish colonel in the Defense Intelligence Agency. He's pulled around in the strange circus and his reactions and actions will be crucial for all the people he comes into contact with during his stay. Through his escape from the Kenyan military, who accuses him of terrorism and murder, he is driven, along with the beautiful Scottish Red Cross employee Jane, into the wilderness, where his abilities and skills as former elite soldier, come into their own, and the flight progresses then into a nightmare where the difference between friend and foe is subtle.

Ethnobotanical knowledge is a major component of indigenous knowledge systems which refers to a cumulative body of traditional knowledge about the interaction between human societies and the plant kingdom, and more specifically, how local people perceive, manage, and utilize the plant resources around them. This study examines the utilization of indigenous botanical plant resources in the former Kakamega District, Kenya. The study focuses on creating an inventory of indigenous botanical plant resources, their use, gender dynamics, impact of new technology, conservation measures and the quest for sustainable development.

This case study describes the community of a small village called Ingotse in Kakamega county in western Kenya. Like most rural, food-insecure communities in sub-Saharan Africa, Ingotse village relied on rain-fed agriculture for production of staple crops. Farmers in this village raised some funds to sink a borehole. This was done in collaboration with a non-governmental organisation (NGO) known as Water for All which gave the community a solar-powered pump to distribute the water to the homesteads. Water from the borehole was used for irrigation, providing food crops all year round. Women and children no longer had to walk long distances to the river to fetch water; they had extra time in their day for other activities such as doing homework with children.

Foliicolous lichens are one of the most abundant epiphytes in tropical rainforests and one of the few groups of organisms that characterize these forests. Tropical rainforests are increasingly affected by anthropogenic disturbance resulting in forest destruction and degradation. However, not much is known on the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on the diversity of foliicolous lichens. Understanding such effects is crucial for the development of appropriate measures for the conservation of such organisms. In this study, foliicolous lichens diversity was investigated in three tropical rainforests in East Africa. Godere Forest in Southwest Ethiopia is a transitional rainforest with a mixture of Afromontane and Guineo-Congolian species. The forest is secondary and has been affected by shifting cultivation, semi-forest coffee management and commercial coffee plantation. Budongo Forest in West Uganda is a Guineo-Congolian rainforest consisting of primary and secondary forests. Kakamega Forest in western Kenya is a transitional rainforest with a mixture of Guineo-Congolian and Afromontane species. The forest is a mosaic of near-primary forest, secondary forests of different seral stages, grasslands, plantations, and natural glades.
