Black fonio is mainly produced in Nigeria and Niger, and is also cultivated in Benin, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire and Togo. (Adapted from FAO and ICRISAT, 1996.

For soils: the relative resistance of a soil to sliding when supporting a load; it decreases as the proportion of fine particles increases; it is minimum in fine-grained organic soils.

Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a cold and drought-resistant shrub thriving in extreme climates (+40°C to -40°C), widely distributed across temperate Eurasia, including Mongolia, China, Russia, and Europe. Seabuckthorn oil is extracted from berry pulp (rich in omega-7 and carotenoids) and seeds (high in omega-3 and -6) of seabuckhorn (Hippophae rhamnoides). (FAO & WHO. 2026.

The woodcocks are a group of seven or eight very similar living species of wading birds in the genus Scolopax. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodcock)
These traps are formed as a result of the deposition in sedimentary rocks. When the sediment that creates the reservoir rock is deposited in a discontinuous layer, the seals are created beside and on top of the reservoir. In some cases, these seals are made of impermeable or low permeability shale deposited around the reservoir, blocking the oil and gas inside. The seals themselves may also be source rocks. (J.M.K.C. Donev et al. (2024). Energy Education. Available: https://energyeducation.ca. [Accessed: 2025].)
Social resilience refers to the ability of individuals, communities, and societies to withstand and recover from social, economic and environmental shocks and stresses. It involves capacity to adapt and learn from these challenges as well as to maintain or improve social and economic well-being. In simple terms, social resilience is about a community’s ability to overcome hardship together. (Baltic Sea Region Cultural Pearls for More Resilient Cities and Regions. 2024.

A cistern is a waterproof receptacle for holding liquids, usually water. Cisterns are often built to catch and store rainwater. Cisterns are distinguished from wells by their waterproof linings. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistern)
The term “abandoned fishing gear” means fishing gear over which that operator/owner has control and that could be retrieved by owner/operator, but is deliberately left at sea due to force majeure or other unforeseen reasons. The term “lost fishing gear” means fishing gear over which the owner/operator has accidentally lost control and that cannot be located and/or retrieved by owner/operator. The term “discarded fishing gear” means fishing gear that is released at sea without any attempt for further control or recovery by the owner/operator. (Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear, FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 523, FAO and UNEP, 2009 9http://www.fao.org/docrep/011/i0620e/i0620e00.html)
