A degradação do solo representa um enorme risco para as gerações futuras por ser um dos recursos naturais mais importantes. Entre outras funções, o solo é responsável pela ciclagem dos nutrientes e sustentabilidade dos sistemas naturais. Objetivou-se neste trabalho resgatar as ações e as pesquisas sobre desertificação e recuperação de áreas degradadas no Estado do Piauí. O conhecimento produzido não é suficiente para dimensionar a real área afetada pelo processo de desertificação. A implantação de um programa de controle e/ou recuperação de áreas degradadas deve ser parte de um projeto maior, o de conservação dos recursos naturais e deve ser planejado com base nas várias microbacias existentes no Estado. Recomenda-se testar práticas vegetativas, edáficas e mecânicas para o controle da erosão hídrica e para a recuperação de áreas degradadas. Palavras - chave: Mitigação; Recursos naturais; Desenvolvimento sustentável.  Recuperation of Degradation Areas in the Piauí State  ABSTRACTThe degradation of the ground represents an enormous risk for the future generations for being one of the more important natural resources.

Selma Lagerlof

Recently past its centenary, The Wonderful Adventures of Nils (1906–7), by Selma Lagerlöf, has remained an international children's classic, famous for its charm and magical elements. This article returns to read the book in its original contexts, and sets out to demonstrate that it was also published as a work of instruction, a work of geography, calculated to build character and nation. Arguing that it represents the vested interests of the state school system, and the national ideology of modern Sweden, the article analyses Nils's journey as the production of a Swedish ‘space’. With a focus on representations of power and nationhood in the text, it points to the way Lagerlöf takes stock of the nation's natural resources, characterises its inhabitants, draws upon legends and history, and ultimately constructs a ‘folkhem’, where social classes, ethnic groups and linguistic differences are all made to contribute to a sense of Swedish belonging and destiny.

In and around the state-owned forest of Farako in the region of Sikasso, Mali, a large-scale study focused on finding a compromise allowing the existential and legitimate needs of the population to be met and at the same time conserving the forest resources in the long term. The first step in research was to sketch out the rural socio-economic context and determine the needs for natural resources for autoconsumption and commercial use as well as the demand for non-material forest services. Simultaneously, the environmental context of the forest and the resources available were evaluated by means of inventories with regard to quality and quantity. According to an in-depth comparison between demand and potential, there is a differentiated view of the suitability of the forest to meet the needs of the people living nearby. Propositions for a multipurpose management of the forest were drawn up. This contribution deals with some basic elements of research methodology as well as with results of the study.
