    ' "There is more meaning and mutual understanding in exchanging a glance with a gorilla than any other animal I know," ' (...) ' That's the exact moment when David #Attenborough becomes David Attenborough, but we almost didn't see it because, on their way to the airport with the most important film canisters in natural history in their luggage, the team were intercepted and taken to an army compound in #Kigali, where for a good while it looked as if they might be shot.

  6. 3 #African Cities Restore #Nature to Revitalize Their #Rivers

    "Africa’s cities, from large metropolises to smaller towns, are increasingly characterized by growing #UrbanSprawl. #Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, is expanding by about 2,000 people and 5 hectares (10 football fields) every day, according to a World Bank estimate. #Kumasi, an intermediary city in #Ghana, is growing more than 5% every year — at least twice as fast as the capital city, Accra.

    As cities and surrounding farmlands expand further into their hinterlands, they encroach upon watersheds essential to water supply and climate resilience.

    Watersheds are the natural area of land that drain into a common body of water. The consequences of their degradation are threefold. Without tree cover and healthy soils to absorb rainfall, cities may lose a critical source for groundwater recharge, leading to water shortages. Not only does the quantity of water suffer, so does its quality. Without strong roots to protect and anchor the soil, sediment and the chemicals within it are washed into nearby water bodies, often the primary source for a city’s drinking water. That same runoff can turn into floodwater.

    How Natural Infrastructure Supports #WaterSecurity.

    Many cities that once depended on their watersheds for water now face both increasing scarcity and heightened vulnerability to #extremeWeather. There are, however, #NatureBasedSolutions to help alleviate these problems.

    Through a combination of upland foresting and urban greening, watershed restoration efforts are starting to deliver positive results in three African cities..."

  11. "In just a three-year period, the city converted a degraded swamp into a functioning wetland—featuring a series of ponds, a riverine forest, and a savanna—that stores carbon, controls floods, filters pollutants, and enhances biodiversity."
