Contact database listing

This listing comprises a directory of people and organisations concerned with

desertification and/or veld degradation in South Africa. The directory was compiled

in December 1998 as part of "Veld Degradation in South Africa", a collaborative

project undertaken by the National Botanical Institute and the Programme for Land and

Agrarian Studies; acknowledging the contributions of Environmental Monitoring Group,

the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and the Department of Agriculture.

For more information about the project as a whole, visit the National Botanical

Institute's website (http://www.nbi.ac.za) and go to research/desertification.

Entries are sorted alphabetically by organisation name where present, otherwise by

the surname of the person concerned. To find a particular entry, most text editors

have a searching facility: for example, to find text within MS WordPad press Ctl+F.
