One of the main purposes of the UN Conference - Exposition on Human Settlements held in Vancouver, Canada, in June 1976, was to bring to the World's attention the nature and relative importance of the problems of human settlements against a background of widespread concern for the whole of our earthly environment - natural and manmade. Two of the most critical problems of society today are the shortage of adequate housing and the deterioration of the conditions under which people live and work. Many cities are unable to provide adequate housing, food, sanitation, work and other essential services for all the people flocking to them in search of a better life. Rural settlements are being abandoned and neglected. Urbanization is not an evil in itself. The process can be guided and converted into a positive factor in development. Economic development and an improvement in the quality of human life need not be competing alternatives. They are both vital and in the common interest of all mankind.

Alluvial diamond deposits are an important source of income to Sierra Leone. Methods are being devised to control surreptitious diamond smuggling, for the country loses millions of dollars through these illegal activities. Diamond workers are seen here panning alluvial deposits into baskets on the banks of a river.
