This book illustrates an alternative approach to 'state of sustainability' reporting by presenting cross-sectoral and multi-disciplinary discussions on sustainability issues in the context of a developing country Botswana. The book volume illustrates how academic publishing can supplement African governments' existing forms of reporting on sustainability by providing on-ground detailed descriptions and experiences relating to achievement of the various sustainable development goals (SDGs). In addition this process involves increases and enhances diversity of stakeholders that report on sustainability. Furthermore the approach resonates with the UN's recommendation to build local strategies for implementation of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Conventional reporting on sustainability by most African countries is an exercise that is customarily the preserve of designated government ministries. While this form of reporting provides a consistent platformfor tracking sustainable development goals it can also benefit from juxtaposition with in-depth descriptions and experiences provided by academic publishing. Academia through publishing provides a framework for on-ground situation-analysis as well as in-depth descriptions of African country's grass-root experiences thus allowing for temporal tracking of sustainable development milestones. As this volume illustrates experiences from the various contributors on this volume highlight different points of departure towards achieving the 2030 agenda. Topics covered include biodiversity water management world heritage environment education tourism gender institutional approaches to achievement of SDGs as well as contribution of non-governmental organisations (NGO)'s amongst others.

1 2 Daniel Felsenstein and Boris A. Portnov 1 Department of Geography Hebrew University of Jerusalem Israel 2 Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management University of Haifa Israel During the Candiot War of 1645-1669 the Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I ordered his chief admiral to attack Malta. Fearing imminent defeat by the superior Venetian forces stationed on the island the admiral decided to trick the sultan out of the idea. As the story goes he placed a candle on his naval map allowing the wax to drip on the tiny island until it was completely covered. Then he exclaimed in false surprise Malta Yok! (There is no Malta!) and convinced the sultan to sail his fleet to the Island of Crete instead. Although Malta is not featured in this volume most of the countries it covers are of wax drip size. Intuitively it may be expected that everything in small countries is diminutive: distances population economies and even regional inequalities. Thus at a symposium on The Challenge of Development convened in Israel in 1957 to mark the inauguration of a new building for the Department of Economics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem the eminent US economist Simon Kuznets stated that developed small states seem to have succeeded in spreading the fruits of economic growth more widely among their populations than the larger states at comparable levels of income per capita.
