Man and the desert

Multidisciplinary conference in Wadi Rum (Jordan)

The area of Wadi Rum in Southern Jordan was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a mixed natural and cultural site in June 2011. Scholars involved in the the preparation of the nomination file came to realise that scientific knowledge about the broader Wadi Rum area is scarce and does not do justice to the importance of the site, be it its natural or cultural dimensions. It also became apparent that there is a need to systematise research and documentation efforts, and provide technical advices to the relevant authorities for the monitoring and conservation of the natural and cultural heritage of the site. Man and the Desert: the First Multidisciplinary Conference on the Natural and Cultural History of Wadi Rum is expected to be the first of a series of conferences on the interactions between human communities and arid environments to take place every two years in Wadi Rum.

Environmental migrations

The destinies of a new kind of refugee

Les revues Hommes & Migrations et Tiers Monde consacrent deux après-midi aux migrationsenvironnementales autour d'une problématique : quelles sont les relations de causalité entre les dégradations de l’environnement et les déplacements de populations ? Ce nouveau rendez-vous de la revue Hommes & Migrations à la Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration explore la situation des migrations liées aux questions d’environnement, à partir des résultats des programmes de recherche en cours, et présente un vaste panorama de ces migrations en comparant des aires géographiques et des dégradations de l’environnement très diverses.
