Africa Most In Danger

-
Africa, the World's poorest continent and the one least able to cope with the impact of climate change - doesn't seem to be getting the massage. Africa is in danger; maybe: the greatest danger it has ever faced in its modern history. Danger from: desertification, heat waves, falling food production and scarcity of water. Instead of Africans depending on foreign assistance most, in reversing climate change - African leaders should take the lead. They should lead by passing laws and enforcing policies that help in reversing the effects of Global Warming. Any African leaders listening? Any of them listening to Prof. Wangari Maathai's caution to them against destroying forests for short term economic gains.?


"While trees and the environment can thrive without human beings, we cannot do without trees. So protect our environment especially forests," Prof. Wangari Maathai

Very wise words of advice from the greatest environmentalist in Africa. At the same time, it is not only African leaders who can help in reversing the effects of Climate Change in Africa, ordinary people too, can and have to contribute. In fact, ordinary Africans can be more effective - more extensively - than the leaders. Ordinary Africans have to be educated and be made aware, that by them doing some very simple actions, Africa's future would be better. Africa's future, depends on actions taken now; the simplest and easiest of which is: protect trees and plant trees! For the sake Africa and its future: please - pledge to plant a tree in Africa!

The Albatross

They have have been called the grandest living flying machine on Earth . No wonder: the Albatross has a wing span of 3 meters and a body mass of up to 12 kilograms. They can live for up to as long as 60 years. But as they have one of the lowest reproductive rates of any birds and as they are being hunted and killed, they may become extinct. Biologists have discovered that swordfish, tuna and other fishing fleets, are catching these birds while fishing, and are killing more that tens of thousands of these birds every year. In a couple of decades many species may be wiped out unless urgent action is taken .

Rwanda Genocide Deniers

-

It's very shocking and extremely disturbing that, there are some people who deny that there was Genocide in Rwanda ; there are those who have been trying hard to spread lies and propaganda and twist real facts and the truth about the Rwandan genocide; there are those who deny that , it took meticulous planning - resulting in about 800,000 Tutsis and some Hutus, systematically being brutally butchered, in Rwanda, in 1994: .........thousands of children butchered individually, by machete. And the massacres at hundreds of churches, mostly Catholic churches at that. Not to mention the systematic gang rapes of Tutsi women and girls which led the international tribunal to define rape as an act of genocide when part of an extermination campaign. The genocide, while it coincided with the civil war and was clearly driven by the politics around the conflict, was mostly carried out by civilians against civilians far from the front. There was no "other side". There were the murde

Dinder National Park Sudan

Dinder - Sudan Situated in the East of the country, very close to the Ethiopian border, about 400 km. (205 mi.) south-east of Khartoum - Sudan's capital city, is Dinder National Park (DNP) - some times called Dinda ( In Arabic: محميه الدندر ) . Covering about 6,475 sq. km. (2,500 sq. mi.) - some estimates say the park covers a much larger area; which would make it one of the largest in Africa. Established in 1935, it is the most important wildlife reserve in Northern Sudan. It is one of the two parks in the country  designated as Biosphere Reserves . The other is Radom National Park (RNP) in southern Darfur. The park, in Dinder District, Sennar State, like all game parks and reserves in Sudan, is confronted with several threatening problems such as trespassing livestock, poaching, increased human settlements and encroachment in the surrounding areas. Like all game parks and reserves in Sudan, you can hardly find any detailed information on the park. Photos of it, too, are v
