Hé you...
do you sometimes 'look'-up-things-on-the-web' ?
or do 'some-serious-research' ?
Still using those data-mining giants like 'Google' or 'Bing' ?
AND YOU STILL LIKE POSTS LIKE THESE ?
Start using 'Ecosia' instead. Also free but plants trees instead of lining pockets.
It requires you only to change your settings on your phone, lap- or desktop. So you'll use Ecosia as your standard search engine !
Come on. Plant some trees [without even noticing it]

OK back to the video:

To support our work you just need to switch to Ecosia as your search engine. It’s easy and for free: -> ecosia.co/join <-
Wetlands and mangrove ecosystems specifically are literally nature’s home-made flood protection. But most mangrove landscapes have disappeared and about 70 mangrove species are at risk of extinction. Restoring mangrove sites isn’t all that easy and, in fact, even us at Ecosia weren’t doing everything right. We realized we had missed something crucial…

A young elephant gives itself a good belly rub on plants growing out of a termite mound while other elephants graze in the background. The young elephant looks ecstatic! Photographed in the Masai Mara in Kenya.

“Baglafecht weaver”

This high and mid-mountain species, which descends at its lowest around 800 meters in Uganda and Kenya, is well adapted to degraded, agricultural and even urban environments. At the base, it lives in the edges and clearings of the mountain forest.

It is a solitary nester, which can however organize a collaboration between two couples on the same territory. The nest is discreet, unlike colonial weavers, and can go unnoticed in the foliage. The male builds alone, but can aggressively steal a nest from another weaver species. The female incubates alone, a dozen days, only a few eggs (maximum three).

This weaver is mainly insectivorous, and eats fruits, berries and seeds only in small quantities.

In Sudan si profila sempre di più una situazione politica «libica», con la divisione del paese in più aree controllate da diversi governi. La scorsa settimana i leader delle Fsr hanno annunciato un governo di «pace e unità» nei territori sotto il loro controllo. L'annuncio è stato fatto nel Kenya dell'amico Ruto, che è anche amico del principale sponsor delle Fsr, ovvero gli Emirati Arabi Uniti, che sta facendo buoni affari con l'oro sudanese e facendo ingrassare i signori della guerra che si raggruppano intorno alle Fsr.
