Miscellaneous Questions

  1. How can I access ICRAF's Multipurpose Tree and Shrub Database (MPTS)?
  2. I am participating in a research study and am in urgent need of population density maps for select countries in Africa and Asia (preferably high-resolution, electronic format). Can your organization provide me with such maps, and if not, would you be able to direct me to an organization that can?
  3. I would like to get some information about the impact of ozone layer, so I can share the information with my Biology class students.
  4. I'm preparing an article about "human migration and environment". Do you have any data or information relevant to this topic (causes, effects, links)?
  5. Please help me to understand about ozone, I am very confused. Environmentalists tell me the ozone layer is being depleted and allowing harmful UV rays in. The health department says there's too much ozone and it is causing health problems. This conflicting information is very confusing. Do we have too much or too little ozone? Can someone please explain?
  6. What is the projection that the Census use for its ArcInfo files?
  7. Where can I find the latest HIV figures for sub-saharan Africa?
