Maternity mortality rates from 1985 are quoted, and abortion-related mortality rates from 1977. For population and literacy, figures are used from the Indian census of 1981. WHO figures from 1985 are used to point out that only 60 percent of births in the world are assisted by trained attendants. Would it not have been more useful to use more recent data, which are readily availablefor instance, figures from the Indian census of 1991, the latest Human Development Report, and the UNFPA reports published every year? While the importance of quantitative data should not be discounted, the study can be criticized for sometimes remaining at the level of facts and figures. For instance, the authors mention religion as an influencing factor, but do not explain how. One reason mentioned for women of Motipur village preferring to deliver their babies at home rather than in hospital is that they feel intimidated by health-care officials and are wary of them, as they are afraid they will be sterilized immediately after birth without their knowledge or consent. Did the authors not think this was worth investigating? If it were corroborated in other villages as well, could this not be an important reason for the low utilization of post-natal health services, rather than tradition alone? A suggestion for future research: it might be interesting to examine intergenerational differences regarding the research questions, using educational attainment within a household as a variable.

Ecotourism in China : Endogenous paradigms for SW China's indigenous minority peoples. John Studley May 1999 1.0 Introduction When I discussed the potential of "ecotourism" with forestry officials in 1998, there was familiarity with the term Page 1 SW China is especially renowned for the uniqueness and variety of its flora, fauna and indigenous ethnic peoples. In some locations the untouched ecosystems are among the most diverse living assemblies on earth (Smil 1984). Although its recorded history is not as well known as Han China, there is evidence that the people have lived sustainably with their fragile world for 2,000 years, and still exhibit a conservation ethic deeply embedded both in historic government Tsatsig and in their animistic and Tibetan Buddhist traditions (Bjork 1993, Tenzin P Atisha 1996, Chen Liang 12/9/98). Since 1950 the world has witnessed the negative impact of modernity both on SW China's environment, and on the socio-cultural systems of its indigenous peoples.. Modernity rather than enhancing their well being is seemingly destroying their environment and indigenous culture and robbing them of their means of life. In 1997 China announced plans for reforestation, conservation and forest tourism, but the serious Yangtze floods of 1998 caused the government to impose a complete felling ban on the forests of SW China and to close 9m ha of grazing land, for reforestation. Although China, seemingly had to halt the planned "mining" of its second forest production base, the phased introduction of a suite of measures, including, conservation

The people concentrated in the southwest and northwest provincesaround Buea and Bamendause standard English and "pidgin," as well as their local languages. In the three northern provincesAdamaoua, north, and far northeither French or Fulfulde, the language of the Fulani, is widely spoken. Elsewhere, French is the principal second language, although pidgin and some local languages such as Ewondo, the dialect of a Beti clan from the Yaounde area, also are widely spoken. Although Yaounde is Cameroon's capital, Douala is the largest city, main seaport, and main industrial and commercial center.
