Big adventures abound in Tanzania. The largest country in East Africa, its borders encompass Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa; Lake Victoria, the continent’s biggest lake (and a primary source of the Nile River); and the largest animal migration on the planet. Oh—and it’s home to the most lions in the world!

As caregivers, parents and teachers of children, we try to encourage and respect every youngster’s individuality. We tell them that they are each unique and that every one of them has something separate to give, something different to learn and something distinct to create.

Wildlife management is a field that continues to develop as scientists, policy leaders, government officials and local advocates collaborate to ensure that ethics, science and sustainability are the foundation of the field.

Southern Africa is home to some of the world’s most majestic animals, along with the world’s largest transboundary protected region to help conserve wild expanses. In 2011, Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe came together to formally recognize a 106-million-acre region in Africa’s Kavango and Zambezi river basins as a protected wildlife area.

To decide whether an animal population is threatened or even on the brink of extinction, you need to know, at least approximately, how many individuals are left and if those numbers are increasing or decreasing. In other words, you can’t protect wildlife if you can’t monitor it.

“Finding your voice.” We hear that phrase a lot, lately. It means that you know who you are at your core, and you express it. Voices are extremely important for humans.

On an early morning in southern Chile’s rugged Laguna San Rafael National Park, a Netflix series film crew caught a rare and unusual sight: a kodkod wandering through the camp where they were eating breakfast. Kodkods are the smallest species of wild cats in the Americas; approximately the same size as a tiny house cat.

At its essence, southern Africa’s Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area is a study in convergence, confluence and coexistence. Connecting vast savannahs, grasslands, marshes, woodlands, saltpans and scrublands across parts of five nations, the 106-million-acre region known as KAZA lies in Africa’s Kavango and Zambezi river basins where Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe converge.

Just hearing the term “wildlife trade” brings to mind heart-wrenching photos of elephants who have been stripped of their tusks or pictures of rhinos without their horns. Actually, the definition of “wildlife trade” is more benign; it denotes any sale or exchange of wild animal and plant resources by people.
Asia & The Pacific
Talk about a small fortune: Although Sri Lanka spans only 25,000 square miles, it shelters Asia’s richest density of mammal, reptile, amphibian and flowering plant species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.

If you asked any wildlife fan or pet owner if animals have beliefs, I’m guessing their answers would almost all fall within the “yes” category, based on observations and anecdotal evidence. Science, however, is always held to a higher standard: proof is required.

Much like the beneficial but complicated effects that the wolves of Yellowstone National Park exert upon their environment, recent research is beginning to show that there is a complex relationship between elephants, giraffes and other megafauna and their natural habitats, the African savannas.
