As indicated by Yelwa (2008), the FGR serves as safety nets to proximate communities by offering alternative income source and food for households during the off-farming season.
This implies that the NTFPs contribution to households' income and therefore the role they play in providing safety net to forest proximate communities is of paramount importance especially to those households that has limited access to complementary economic opportunities.
The reserve provides a unique ecosystem that serves as an important freshwater catchment basin serving Kano, Jigawa, Bauchi, Yobe, and Borno States and Lake Chad, as well as provision of numerous NTFPs for its proximate communities.
A Brahmin family Y-chromosome lineage is likely to exhibit greater genetic proximity to a culturally related group situated thousands of miles away than to any of the dozens of geographically proximate communities that might traditionally serve as comparators.
In fact, convenience recruitment in proximate communities with active hospital outreach programmes in maternal and child health may have over-represented 'health-seekers' and women with access to hospital services, or skewed the sample population in unknown ways by excluding women who were not at home when interviewers visited.
The present study aims to identify both individual (biological or proximate) and community (contextual, societal or distal) factors associated with neonatal mortality in Ghana by examining Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) data using hierarchical modelling.
By 1910 the Pittsburgh district was a complex urban landscape with a dominant central city, surrounded by proximate residential communities, mill towns, satellite cities, and hundreds of mining towns.
Within this study, we conducted passive sampling of NO2 in neighborhoods surrounding T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, using saturation sampling across multiple seasons with the aim of capturing signals from both local traffic and airport activities in a community proximate to an airport.
This study is conceived as forest dependency and household incomes in communities proximate to FGR.
As indicated by Ojo (2004) and Shackleton et al. (2007), communities proximate to forestlands in Africa extract NTFPs from the forests irrespective of management regime or property right.
