Then, in 2004, conservationists established Monte Le'n National Park in the region. As expected, once the hunting stopped, the big cats came back. And when they returned, they found a new player in their old neighborhood: Magellanic penguins. "When we start to rewild the land, the species that are coming back might find a system that is a bit different from the one that they used to inhabit 100 years ago'and they adapt to it," says Emiliano Donadio, science director at the Fundaci'n Rewilding Argentina and a coauthor of the study. (How a penguin 'massacre' led to historic new protections in Argentina) In 2023, Serota and his colleagues reported that the big cats were actually feeding on the gawky birds.

The community driven project started in 2023 and is now nearing completion. Households donated a minimum of R100 each while others donated material such as window frames. Mendwane consists of three villages. Residents say their requests for a communal meeting space went unanswered for years. This meant they had community gatherings on an open field, irrespective of weather conditions. Sihle Mgedezi, who is overseeing the project, said residents have been requesting a community hall from Mbhashe Local Municipality and grew tired of being ignored. The structure still needs more windows to be fitted, doors, electricity and plastering, but some residents have already started using the space. "We need water tanks, electricity, and toilets....

Families who were forcibly evicted from the Chagos Islands between 1967 and 1973 have elected a "first minister" and declared their desire to remain British citizens and subjects of the King. The Chagossians are hoping that their declaration will persuade the House of Lords to block Sir Keir's plans to surrender the strategically important Indian Ocean islands . In his inaugural speech, Misley Mandarin, the islanders' newly elected first minister, proclaimed, "Let the world know: we remain loyal subjects of His Majesty." Mandarin emphasized the Chagossians' ongoing commitment to both the UK and the US, stating, "We remain committed partners to the United Kingdom and the United States. Tonight, the Chagossian voice becomes one voice. Tonight,…...

Just a few months into his new term, President Peter Mutharika is grappling with a triple crisis - a deep-seated food emergency, diminishing aid, and soaring debt. With over four million Malawians - 22% of the population - facing the threat of acute malnutrition until the next harvest in March, Mutharika last month declared a nationwide state of disaster. But the $119 million humanitarian response is underfunded. Although crucial to staving off the risk of hunger-related deaths, it has so far raised only $26 million from Malawi's aid partners - roughly 21% of the amount required. The trigger for Malawi's food emergency has been a 20% drop in maize yields last year as a result of drought and localised flooding. The harvest failure hit…...
