I need some basic research done for each of the following countries and corresponding issues. The requirements are to find the following information for each country listed below. What is needed for each country and issue: * 2 academic articles written in the last 5 years on the issue in the country * 2 academic articles on the general topic of the issue in the last 5 years. * 3-5 recent news articles on the issue in each country. * 3-5 reports from NGOs/Government organizations working on the issue in that country (for example this report from the Environmental Investigation Agency on elephant poaching in Tanzania: [login to view URL]) * A list of 5-7 organizations working on the issue in the country and links to their websites. * 2-3 online videos/documentaries about the issue in the country (they can be on Youtube, Vimeo, etc). The countries and issues: a. Kenya: indoor air pollution caused by the burning of open cooking fires and charcoal stoves. The issue is related to fuel-efficient cookstoves, indoor air quality, and the use of biomass for fuel. b. Ethiopia & Somalia: desertification and land degradation due to overgrazing. Related issues are tragedy of the commons, poor land and animal management, and poor governance of common areas.. c. Uganda: this will be a good place to explore the topic of agriculture and sustainability. Uganda has high soil fertility and plenty of rain, yet mismanagement and population growth are eroding the ability of the land to sustain itself. This would be a good place to find example of agricultural sustainability or options for agricultural intensification to address these issues. d. Burundi & Rwanda: deforestation will be explored in these two countries including the impacts on biodiversity, land quality, and the conflict between population growth, sustainable development, and environmental conservation. e. South Sudan: issues with fossil fuels will be explored in the new nation state of South Sudan. The main topic will be the resource curse and how having resource richness can lead to pollution, exploitation, and poor governance. This lesson ill focus heavily on conflicts caused by high value resources. f. Comoros, Seashells, and Mauritius: the topic of climate change and its impact on island nation states. Specifically, the lessons will explore sea-level rise and impacts of ocean acidification on local reefs and fish populations.

I have a great deal of experience in researching about environmental issues as I was a part of the NSS club in my college. I was also the co-editor for my school magazine which required spending a lot of time doing research in the Interne, skimming and scanning through articles. So this job would be perfect for me.

I have a strong background in environmental issues and research. I have a PhD from the University of Canberra, Australia, which investigated issues of wildlife conservation in Australia. My research skills are exceptional as evidenced by my publication record in which I am author on 15 publications published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. I have worked for the Australian government for the past seven years for the Department of the Environment and Department of Climate Change. I have worked in areas of wildlife trade, threatened species conservation and climate change. I, therefore, have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of environmental issues within Australia as well as globally. I currently work at an Australian University and hence have excellent access to academic articles. I am proficient in finding appropriate research articles using library databases, such as Web of Knowledge, as well as web based searches such as Google Scholar. Thank you for the opportunity to bid on your project which interests me greatly. Yours sincerely, Dr Erika Alacs (PhD Applied Science, University of Canberra, Australia).
