This thesis focuses on “The “great hunting” among the Baka pygmies of the Southeastern Cameroon. A contribution to Anthropology of environment. The problematic in the study is the confrontation of great hunting among the Baka with the institutional, socio-economic and ecological change in forest. The goal is to analyze the mechanisms of adaptation of this game against these changes that affect the Baka environment. The proposed hypothesis suggests that Baka Pygmies have restructured the preparatory ceremonies of the great hunting following changes that occurred in their environmental milieu. Certain ritual animals have been substituted. Hunting lands, tools, methods and periods were also modified. The great hunting is opened to Baka hunters and non Baka hunters. Qualitative techniques, including observation, interviews and focus group discussions were used for data collection. The observations allowed us to understand the reality of driving forces in the forest as well as tools for hunting, hunting land and even the species sought. Interviews and focus group discussions were consolidated data on the ancient practice of hunting for rituals like Jengi and Beka, on the current practice of this hunting and on the impact of the of the modification of this hunting practice on the Baka culture. The results of this research show that the Baka have taken important measure to adapt their great hunting to the changing time and space. But the restructuring of this hunting varies from one village to another. As and when we leave the depths of the forest to the city of Yokadouma the great hunting is practiced less and less. Baka use illegal hunting tools and even fully protected species in their great hunting and in rituals celebrations. The overexploitation of forest resources, the creation of protected areas, full protection of certain large mammals and the action of ecoguards are something of an obstacle to the ancient practice of hunting for ritual. In most of camp where hunting is no more existing, ritual ceremonies are less and less celebrated. The study is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is related to the literature review, the theoretical framework, the definition of concepts, the second focuses on the geographical presentation of the study area, the third chapter looks at factors affecting the great hunting, the fourth chapter deal with the changes observed in the Baka’s great hunting, and the fifth chapter examines consequences of the restriction or suppression of the hunt on the Baka socio culture.

La steppe algérienne est confrontée depuis plusieurs décennies à un problème de dégradation induit par l’effet combiné de facteurs anthropiques et naturels. Les résultats obtenus dans la lutte contre ce phénomène, malgré les moyens mobilisés, restent très mitigés et révèlent l’inefficacité des approches et méthodes adoptées. Toute action de préservation et de réhabilitation de la steppe doit reposer dans un premier temps sur un diagnostic permettant d’identifier et d’évaluer le poids de chaque facteur dégradant. Parmi les facteurs souvent soulignés on note le climat, le parcours, le défrichement et la pratique d’une agriculture pluviale sans une justification ni estimation de cet impact. Le diagnostic ciblant et classant les principaux facteurs de régression des formations steppique de Stipa tenacissima est l’objectif assigné à cette publication. La démarche retenue traitera de l’état des formations steppiques face aux pressions pour une identification des facteurs causaux de cette situation et une évaluation de leur impact futur.

On se propose, à travers cette étude de cartographier la végétation halo résistante et halophile de deux zones de l’Algérie occidentale l’une au Nord (région de Hammam Boughrara) et l’autre au Sud (région du Chott El-Gharbi). Une comparaison de ces deux zones d’un point de vue physionomique a été menée, afin de mettre en évidence la diversité phytoécologique de ces peuplements. Les données bioclimatiques montrent que les zones d’étude sont toutes deux caractérisées par une longue période de sécheresse estivale variant de 6 à 7 mois. D’un autre côté, l’approche édaphique montre une texture limono-sableuse à sableuse aussi bien au Nord qu’au Sud. Par contre la salinité est nettement plus accentuée au Sud atteignant 1350 μ.S/cm. La carte physionomique de la végétation de la zone nord fait apparaitre la dominance de formations pures à Tamarix gallica L. (27,13%) ou à Atriplex halimus L. (37,99%), et de formations en mosaïques, où les deux genres se trouvent mêlés (16,87%). Au niveau de la zone sud deux grandes unités physionomiques se distinguent: les groupements à Salsola vermiculata L. (24 %) et les groupements à Lygeum spartum L. (6 %). Les groupements à Artemisia herba– alba Asso. occupent par contre de petites surfaces (2 %) de qualité moyenne à médiocre. Les peuplements à Arthrocnemum glaucum (Del.) Ung. quant à eux, se répartissent tout autour de la daya du Chott El-Gharbi, où la salinité est à son maximum, en constituant un tapis végétal assez dense (1 %).

This MEDPRO Technical Report shows that the monetary and exchange rate policies conducted by central banks in the South Mediterranean region display apparent homogeneity in their operational frameworks, albeit with some specificities and differing degrees of advancement. While central banks state that price stability is their ultimate objective, failures to control interest rates as operational objectives of monetary policy result in monetary authorities resorting to quantitative approaches to monetary policy, meaning that monetary aggregates and credit targets are being used as intermediate targets of monetary policy. An econometric exercise limited to Maghreb countries (Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia) has been conducted to analyse the potential scenarios of convergence and monetary policy coordination. Given the high structural heterogeneity and the slow pace of real convergence due to weak commercial integration in the Maghreb, results nevertheless show alternative dynamics in the integration of effective nominal exchange rates, as well as a complete convergence dynamic in exchange rate policies. Partial convergence of monetary policies regarding the stabilisation of inflation rates remains an open option for a transitional phase where financial integration is low.

This MEDPRO Technical Report confirms the importance of commercial openness and macroeconomic performance (i.e. the control of inflation and stability of current account balance and exchange rate) on growth dynamics in the south Mediterranean countries. In particular, the positive impact of capital account liberalisation is conditioned by the imperative reinforcement of institutional quality, country risk reduction, and government stability. An examination of the Tunisian case shows that only sectors subject to tariff dismantlement within the framework of the Association Agreement with the EU appear to benefit from capital account liberalisation. Furthermore, the report shows that a scenario of capital account liberalisation requires the anticipation of monetary policy reaction functions. It follows that the mechanisms for interest rate adjustment, or inter alia, the interest rates’ reaction to price fluctuations, are weakly volatile. In turn, the analysis shows that an active control of inflation mismatches occurs essentially through exchange rate corrections, thus highlighting the greater interest central banks have in exchange rate stability over real stability. A capital account liberalisation scenario would hence impose a tightening of monetary policy.
