  1. "The annual #Jewish #pilgrimage to the 26-century-old #ElGhriba #Synagogue in #Tunisia drew a modest but notable return of international visitors this year, worshipping together under tight security after a deadly 2023 attack disrupted the festival.

    Visitors came from #France, #China, #IvoryCoast and #Italy, including France’s ambassador to Tunisia, a symbolic gesture after two #French citizens were among those killed in the 2023 attack. A national guardsman shot and killed five people at the El-Ghriba synagogue soon after the festival that year, spreading fear among the local Jewish population and international #pilgrims."

  13. Soaring cocoa prices: Blessing or curse for African farmers? | DW News

    West Africa is king, when it comes to cocoa - the entire world has a love affair with chocolate, and without cocoa, chocolate is a no-go. African nations dominate the global #cocoa #trade, with #IvoryCoast, #Ghana, #Cameroon and #Nigeria producing 70 percent of the cocoa beans consumed globally.
    But that taste for chocolate is proving an expensive habit, and some analysts say the price of the sweet stuff may soon be twice what it was, because the cost of the raw material is only going up: The price of a ton of cocoa has increased almost fivefold since late 2023.
    So how does that compare to other objects of desire, say microchips?
    Since the start of the year, Cocoa prices have even outperformed shares in the world's leading computer chip giant, Nvidia.
    So what's driving prices so high? Ghana, the world's second largest producer is facing a catastrophic harvest, in a deepening cocoa crisis. Producers have seen a wave of illegal gold mining wipe out their trees, with many deciding just to sell their plots.
    Climate change is also doing its damage: Ghana has slashed its cocoa forecast this year because of hotter, drier weather.
    Cameroon is Africa's third largest cocoa producer, and one farmer there said "cocoa season is a season of cash." Cocoa provides about 90% of the income for rural communities involved in its production. DW's Blaise Eyong spoke to a farmer in the village of Loum, in Cameroon's Littoral region who is turning his cash crop into consumer goods.

  14. Campbell’s Mona Monkey Cercopithecus campbelli

    Campbell’s Mona Monkey Cercopithecus campbelli

    Red List: Near Threatened

    Extant (resident): Gambia; Guinea; Guinea-Bissau; Liberia; Senegal; Sierra Leone; Ivory Coast.

    Inquisitive and highly social Campbell’s Mona Monkeys are known for their intense hazel eyes and bright yellow brows. They use their large puffy cheeks to store food while they climb to the top of tree canopies to eat it. Males will engage in a dawn and dusk symphony of calling along with other species in a coordinated ritual. They are Near Threatened due to hunting and extensive forest loss throughout their range in West Africa for palm oil, coffee, cocoa and mining. Help them every time you shop by using your wallet as a weapon – #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

    Appearance & Behaviour

    Male Campbell’s Mona Monkeys are known for engaging in interpecies dawn and dusk choruses. Sounds carry for at least a kilometre in low rumbling booms and other males join in. Interspecies songs and calling obey ritualised rules. The Campbell’s Mona Monkey has an advanced form of communication with rudimentary and basic syntax.

    They are a highly social and gregarious species, preferring to stay in groups of about eight individuals.

    They are slow and careful foragers and will look for wild and cultivated fruit, seeds and vegetables along with small invertebrates, lizards, amphibians and worms.

    Threats

    Campbell’s Guenons or Campbell’s Mona Monkeys are still common to some areas of their range and are relatively flexible and adaptable to their environment. However, their habitat is rapidly declining and becoming fragmented due to forest loss and deforestation for agriculture – mainly palm oil, coffee and cocoa.

    [Campbell’s Guenons] have been impacted by, first and foremost, bushmeat hunting, and secondly, habitat loss.

    IUCN Red LIST

    Due to their small body size, they are not the prime target for hunters. However in recent years with unregulated hunting and removal of other larger monkey species – the Campbell’s Mona Monkey have now become a target for the illegal bushmeat trade.

    In Mount Nimba, Liberia, Bené et al. (2013) monitored hunters’ activities in 2009–2011 and found a high rate (0.7 per km) of encountering hunters carrying the carcasses of this species.

    IUCN RED LIST

    Habitat

    Campbell’s Mona Monkeys Cercopithecus campbelli are also known by the name Campbell’s guenon. They are endemic to the Ivory Coast, Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau, Gambia and Ghana. They are found in lowland forest, gallery forest, mangroves, riverine environments and within farms and agricultural land.

    This species once thrived in disturbed habitats and farmbush, but many of these habitats have been converted to plantations of non-native species.

    IUCN RED LIST

    Diet

    Campbell’s Mona Monkeys are slow, deliberate foragers. The greater part of their diet is wild fruit and agricultural crops. However, they will also eat seeds, invertebrates, grubs, small amphibians and lizards. They use their puffy cheeks to store food and then climb high into the boughs of trees to eat it.

  15. Three friends are just now heading out to visit the #UNESCO #WorldHeritage #ComoeNationalPark area in #IvoryCoast for an awareness and info campaign to bolster its protection within the local communities around.

    Their not-for-profit foundation Deutsche Stiftung für den Comoé Nationalpark #DSCN / Fondation Allemande pour le Parc National de la #Comoé #FAPNAC comoe-stiftung.org is organizing workshops and awarding scholarships to talented local children and students to enable them staying in school/uni.

    The park is renowned for its great plant and animal #Biodiversity.

    Donations are very much welcomed by Prof. Judith Korb (currently researching at University #Freiburg, researchgate.net/profile/Judit) and her team from DSCN/FAPNAC.
