This article analyzes the changes which have occurred in land occupation and vegetation cover over the past few decades in a number of villages scattered along the bioclimatic gradient in the South-West of Niger, from the Tillabéry-Filingué line in the North to Gaya (on the Niger-Benin border) in the South. Diachronic analyses were performed based on satellite photographs (CORONA March and October 1965) or aerial photographs (IGN mission in March 1975) which were compared to current Google Earth photographs. These analyses were then confronted to interviews conducted in the various villages as well as to surveys of the state of the vegetation. If researchers emphasize the resumption of rainfall since the mid-1990s, they also show that the South-West of Niger paradoxically presents an increased socio-environmental vulnerability. It seems possible to generalize this observation at the scale of the two regions. However, the research undertaken here leads to a more nuanced conclusion : when data are disaggregated, the situation looks very diversified, revealing, independently from the bioclimatic gradient and from the meridian differentiation linked with the fossile valleys (dallols), situations where the vulnerability of both populations and ecosystems appears more or less pronounced.

In Canada, at the federal level and in many provinces, the principle of active offer has been used to guide the delivery of French-language services. Ontario stands out, since the approach is partly voluntary. As such, it is important to study how French-language services are integrated into the governance of the province's public services. This article draws upon existing government data to form a general picture of the active offer of French-language services in the mental health sector. However, the authors demonstrate that the data are not readily accessible and are fragmentary. The article is used to highlight key challenges to the offer of French-language services in the mental health sector in Ontario.

With extremely different federal, national and local situations, it is interesting to note that some public institutions - universities, museums, research centres, associations - are doing their best to integrate staff and members of the public who are excluded from their activities. Transnational practices and knowledge are tending to emerge from the perspective of Agenda 21 for culture, cultural rights and the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
