Bibliography: leaves 126-134. === In 1998, after spending ten years in government business, as an economist in Tanzania, four of which in departments/ministries dealing with environmental and natural resources management in the country, I made a decision to study Environmental Science. This was triggered by the fact that I noticed there is a dearth of Environmental and Resource Economists in my county. I realised that most politicians and technocrats were paying lip service to environmental problems, and could not link environmental management issues with economic development policies and strategy.
