Earthscape for May

This month Earthscape (www.earthscape.org) takes a look at some of the current
environmental concerns on the African continent. Adaptation to climate change, water
scarcity, soil and land management, the HIV-AIDS crisis, food supply and crop prospects,
the status of lakes, rivers and coastal areas are included in the additions to the
collection.

This month's webcast is "HIV/AIDS, Agriculture, and Conservation: Impacts and Solutions".
In this January 2007 event, a panel explores the impact of HIV/AIDS beyond human
health?it also has profound effects on households, communities, agriculture, land use,
and conservation efforts.
