The functioning of the forest ecosystem is complex and often not easy to understand. This includes the mycorrhiza, the living community between plants and fungi. This symbiosis is illustrated with an educational film of the nationalparks Bavarian Forest and Šumava.

You'd find it hard to meet a greater enthusiast for farm biodiversity than farm manager Phineas Kibaka. In a tour around a farm in central Kenya he explains how he farms with wildlife following the Integrated Farm Management principles of LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming).
This film, one of eleven, is being used to share good agricultural practice in Africa.
LEAF (http://www.leafuk.org), Waitrose, African fresh produce exporters and Green Shoots Productions (http://www.green-shoots.org) have been working with support of the UK Department for International Development's Food Retail Industry Challenge (FRICH) fund to share good agricultural practice between African farmers.

Nat Geo - Desert elephant and its characteristics - BBC
Desert elephants are not a distinct species of elephant but are African bush elephants (Loxodonta africana) that have made their homes in the Namib and Sahara deserts. It was believed at one time that they were a subspecies of the African bush elephant but this is no longer thought to be the case. Desert-dwelling elephants were once more widespread in Africa than they are now and are currently found only in Namibia and Mali. They tend to migrate from one waterhole to another following traditional routes which depend on the seasonal availability of food and water. They face pressure from poaching and from changes in land use by humans.

JAYAPURA (Café Pacific): The current armed conflict between West Papuan National Liberation Army (TPNPB) and Indonesian Military Forces in Nduga, West Papua, are demonstrated in this video released by TPNPB News.

This video was taken a few months ago in Nduga when Indonesia dropped military personnel in an airborne operation.

On a different occasion, the same helicopter dropped an internationally banned weapon, white phosphorous, in December 2018, and in some different places dropped live bombs, according to TPNPB News.

On 27 January 2018, a war ultimatum was announced by the National Operation Comander of TPNPB, the military wing of OPM armed resistance, Legakek Tellengen in Puncak Jaya.

Recent shoot-outs with armed fighters in Papua and West Papua have forced villagers to flee their homes.
There is now concern the government's decision to designate Papuan groups as terrorists may inflame tensions even further.
