With everything else that is going on in the world, the environment seems to have taken a bit of a back-seat. It may not be the biggest day in our diaries, but what it represents is one of the most important things to the stability of our planet: World Rainforest Day. One of my pieces was re-released on the CNN homepage today to mark it. It’s on Kakamega Forest in Kenya, one of the last remaining pieces of a forest that used to stretch across Africa. It’s a sad statement of the decline our planet is experiencing that it itself may not be much longer for this world.
On a brighter note, my piece on the resurgence of the southern white rhino, thanks mainly to the hard work of those conservationists a Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park, went live today as well.
Two good environmental pieces on the CNN homepage in a day. I wish there would be more!
