Every year, a pulse begins in the heart of East Africa. It starts as a low vibration on the open plains, a sound like distant thunder rolling across the grasslands. Then, the land itself begins to move. Columns of wildebeest, more than a million strong, flow across the horizon in search of fresh, rain-fed grass.

In addition to being beautiful, African leopards are adaptable, elusive and versatile animals. Now, we can add genetically diverse to that list.

American writer, conservationist, ecologist, environmentalist, forester, naturalist, philosopher and scientist Aldo Leopold once said that “harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left. That is to say, you cannot love game and hate predators … the land is one organism.”

Often, the numbers seem to look bad for African rhinos. Right now, the statistics show that these animals are rapidly declining in core, state-run reserves, such as South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Currently—much like with tigers—more than half of the continent’s remaining rhinoceroses are now on private lands.

More than 350 types of frogs live in Madagascar, the world’s fourth largest island after Greenland, New Guinea and Borneo. The nation stretches across 226,917 square miles (approximately the size of France or Texas) off the coast of East Africa. This gives Madagascar possibly the highest frog diversity per square mile of any country in the world.
Antarctica & Arctic
If you were asked to name active volcano sites around the world, you’d probably include places such as Hawaii, Yellowstone National Park and Iceland, the country often labeled “the land of fire and ice.” But what’s under the white, frozen expanses in Antarctica may be far more dramatic.
