New Caledonians have not shown much environmental awareness either in part because the low population density has put little anthropogenic pressure on nature. Behind that ridge Agricola's legions defeated the Caledonians at the battle of Mons Graupius; down there, eighteenth-century improvers rationalized agriculture by draining valleys and redefining boundaries to engrave the agrarian revolution's technological and social structures into the land. By the end of 1992, 166 young New Caledonians, most of them Melanesian, had embarked on training courses in France, and 66 of them had already returned to New Caledonia. |
