URBIS in Jerusalem
Jerusalem, Israel recently hosted a 2 day workshop on URBIS - Urban
Biospheres, a collaborative program among partners such the Cornell DNR Civic
Ecology Lab, the Stockholm Resilience Center, ICLEI, UNESCO, and others. Keith Tidball was among thirteen international experts in ecology, biodiversity
management and community engagement, who convened with over 50 key local
professionals to produce strategies for moving forward with an urban biosphere
concept that transcends municipal boundaries and is based on cooperation in the
region. Their work, using Jerusalem as a case study, is currently being
summarized for presentation at the Rio+20 Summit in June. The following are
reviews of the workshop and two pieces on the symbolically important swift (apus apus) including a short film
documenting the Annual Welcome Ceremony for the Swifts at the Western Wall,

This month’s In Focus articles are by Susanna M Hoffman; Jane Henrici; Miriam S Chaiken; Roberto Barrios; Michele Ruth Gamburd and Dennis B McGilvray; Keith G Tidball; Susann Ullberg; Lakshmi Fjord; and Anthony Oliver-Smith. Full issue content is available via AnthroSource, including additional thematic articles from other sections by contributors Graham A Tobin, Linda M Whiteford, Eric C Jones and Arthur D Murphy; Laura Wagner; Jérôme Grimaud; Marisa O Ensor; Howard F Stein; and Adam Koons.
This month’s issue also features color photographs in the online version.
After the catastrophic January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, AN immediately began hearing anthropologists discuss how they might contribute to recovery efforts. This was no surprise, given anthropologists’ frequent engagement with human rights, public health and social justice issues. With many practicing and academic anthropologists deeply involved with short- and long-term disaster relief and recovery efforts throughout the world, this thematic series explores how anthropology can make a difference in such challenging circumstances.
