| 词条 | Environmental issues in Eritrea |
| 释义 |
Eritrea faces environmental issues such as continued deforestation, desertification, soil erosion, overgrazing, and significant land loss as a result of the presence of hundreds of thousands of land mines. Significant strides towards sustainability and environmental recovery have been made by the Government of Eritrea. The Eritrean Government has embarked on a program to reforest[1] Eritrea (which in 1900 was 30% forested land, despite heavy logging[2]) and prevent wood from being used as a fuel source. In addition to its terrestrial responsibilities, the government of Eritrea, with the assistance of the UN Development Program has enacted a Coastal Marine and Island Biodiversity Conservation Project which is designed to protect the entire coastal zone of Eritrea. This is the first project of its kind in scope and magnitude in the world.[3] This program is meant to create a sustainable environment for coming generations.[4][5] References1. ^{{cite news | last = Swift | first = Richard | title = A traveler's notebook | publisher = New Internationalist | date = December 1992 | url = http://www.newint.org/issue238/notebook.htm | accessdate = 2006-10-20 }} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Mangroves: Salt-resistant allies in the fight against hunger and poverty |publisher=OPEC Fund Newsletter |date=2003 |url=http://www.ofid.org/publications/PDF/NL/NL11_3.pdf |accessdate=2006-10-20 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006113722/http://www.ofid.org/publications/PDF/NL/NL11_3.pdf |archivedate=2007-10-06 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.metimes.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20061213-042819-8606r |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926231343/http://www.metimes.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20061213-042819-8606r |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2007-09-26 |title=Eritrea set to protect entire coast in world first |date=2006-12-13 |publisher=AFP |accessdate=2006-12-13 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.shabait.com/staging/publish/article_005868.html |title=National symposium on utilization of marine resources held here |accessdate=2006-12-13 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930015518/http://www.shabait.com/staging/publish/article_005868.html |archivedate=September 30, 2007 }} 5. ^{{cite journal | last =Pilcher | first =Nicolas |author2=Mahmud, Sammy |author3=Howe, Steffan |author4=Teclemariam, Yohannes |author5= Weldeyohannes, Simon | title =An Update on Eritrea’s Marine Turtle Programme and First Record of Olive Ridley Turtle Nesting in the Red Sea | journal =Marine Turtle Newsletter | publisher = | date =2006 | url =http://www.seaturtle.org/mtn/archives/mtn111/mtn111p16.shtml| accessdate =2006-12-13 }} External links
