Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition.

Hardcover in Dustjacket. Zustand: Very Good. Damaged dustjacket. FLORA General Conservation -Richard St. Barbe BakerÂ(9 October 1889Ââ" 9 June 1982) was an English biologist and botanist, environmental activist and author, who contributed greatly to worldwideÂreforestationÂefforts. As a leader, he founded an organisation,ÂMen of the Trees, still active today as theÂInternational Tree Foundation, whose many chapters carry out reforestation internationally.Graduating from the Cambridge botany programme, he applied for work inÂBritish-ruled Kenya. In North Africa he saw the effects of centuries of land mismanagement, first from wheat farming in the later days of the Roman Empire and after that from the grazing of goats first introduced by Arabs. Immediately concerned with these deforestation problems, in 1922 he set up a tree nursery and founded an organisation with Kenya's Kikuyu people to carry out managed reforestation in the region, utilising native species. In the regional dialect, the local society was called "Watu wa Miti". This formed the foundation for what was to become an international organisation, theÂMen of the TreesÂ(a translation of the original name).pp. 262 reprint #060725 Baker, Richard St. Barbe, 1889-1982 Conservationists -- England -- Biography Foresters -- England -- Biography acresÂadventureÂafforestationÂAfricaÂagricultureÂancientÂarrivedÂaskedÂbambooÂbeautyÂbecomeÂbeechÂbeesÂbirdsÂBritainÂBritishÂCaliforniaÂcalledÂCanadaÂcenturyÂchiefÂCoast redwoodsÂColonialÂcropsÂculmsÂdesertÂearthÂEnglandÂfarmsÂfeetÂfelledÂforest destructionÂforestryÂfruitÂgardensÂgaveÂGermanÂgiveÂgroundÂgrovesÂgrowÂheartÂHenry Van DykeÂhorsesÂhundredÂIndian Forest ServiceÂinterestÂKenyaÂKwaheriÂlandÂleaveÂlectureÂlivingÂlookedÂLowell ThomasÂMaoriÂmeetÂmilesÂMONTEREY PINEÂmorningÂmotherÂmountainsÂnaturalÂNigeriaÂnightÂnurseryÂofficerÂonceÂorangeÂPalestineÂParkÂpassedÂpineÂplantingÂQUEBEC BEAVERÂRedwood EmpireÂredwoodsÂreturnedÂseedÂseemedÂsilviculturalÂSir John ChancellorÂsoilÂsoonÂspeciesÂspiritÂspringÂsquare milesÂstoryÂTaneÂthingsÂthoughtÂthousandÂtimberÂto-dayÂtoldÂtookÂtree-plantingÂtreesÂtribesmenÂturnedÂwantedÂwonderfulÂwoodÂwoodlandsÂyoungÂZealand Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
