In Venezuela, land reform and socialist rhetoric did not prevent chronic shortages of milk, sugar, and beef.

Thousands of deaths and injuries had been caused by those landmines and other explosive remnants of war, which had also prevented the reclamation and cultivation of extensive areas of Libyan land.

The projects and programmes conducted in the area of the rehabilitation of degraded land do not always include appropriate mechanisms for evaluating the impact of the activities involved or for determining the area of land rehabilitated, for which figures are given in less than a quarter of the reports.

In Africa, the ongoing initiatives for rehabilitating degraded land are focused on reforestation, soil conservation and integrated management of water resources.

In the course of 2004, a 10 country project on the use of gum arabic for land rehabilitation and economic development in dryland areas in Africa was prepared.

Several reports stress the need for better water management for the rehabilitation of developed land, combined with the management of pastoral and agricultural forest pastoral lands.

It its report, the FAO points out that the rehabilitation of degraded land is a long term battle, requiring an appropriate political and institutional framework to be put in place, able to ensure the support and participation of farmers, stockbreeders, forestry workers and other users of the land.

Land reclamation, religious donations, and building projects expanded slowly before 1050, increased to 1100, accelerated sharply with the opening of new lands between c. 1140 and c. 1210 and continued at a lower level from 1220 to 1300.

Beginning in 1907 the German colonial administration began land reforms and required newly created owners to perform 15 days of labor per year for public works in lieu of taxes.

This does not necessarily mean that there was already a settlement then since reclamation of land may not have been for farming it may have been for peat, used as fuel.

The Special Rapporteur is concerned to note that ceasefire groups have also allegedly insisted upon forced labour by the civilian population for tasks including clearing tracts through the jungle and preparing land for crop cultivation.

The Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development has taken the lead in disaster response management.

In the FAO's opinion, stockbreeders must be involved in rangeland rehabilitation measures.

Land use, land use change and forestry

Grassland to forested land Cropland to forested land Wetland to forested land Settlement to forested land.

Agriculture When adjusting emissions from agricultural soils, preference should be given to tier 1.a methods as provided in the IPCC good practice guidance.

Where more than one approach or technique is appropriate to achieve the desired goal, the most cost effective option should be selected.

In Jordan's case, however, the ability to restore rangelands to a better state will require a significant reduction in overall grazing pressure.

On the whole, prevention is a much more effective way if coping with desertification, because subsequent attempts to rehabilitate desertified areas are costly and tend to deliver limited results.

This will not only accelerate recovery of the damaged areas but it is also in line with the duty of Kuwait to mitigate the damage and minimize losses resulting from the damage.

The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, at its twenty third session, decided to recommend the following draft decision for adoption by the Conference of the Parties at its eleventh session
