On May 9, more than 50,000 bird watchers from across the globe took to the outdoors for the next 24 hours to log in birds on the eBird app.
With millions of birders creating countless bird lists, some tech-savvy birders at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in the US thought that if all these lists were put on one platform it would not only transform birding but contribute to science.
The app is available in 30 languages and thanks to contributors around the world, there are more than 810 million observations of birds.
In Africa, Kenya topped with 83 checklists submitted by 60 teams.
\"Tourists will surely notice that Kenya must be a brilliant place to go birding,” said Pete Stewart, a veteran birder with Nature Kenya.

Police yesterday nabbed five men suspected of being part of a vehicle theft and smuggling syndicate. BY PRAISEMORE SITHOLE The thieves were caught after they allegedly smuggled a stolen white Toyota Hilux single cab vehicle from South Africa and drove it to Zimbabwe, but they ran out of fuel along the Bulawayo-Beitbridge Road. National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi yesterday confirmed the arrest. “A white Toyota Hilux single cab was stolen in South Africa on December 3 and it was driven to Zimbabwe. Police managed to arrest five suspects in Mazunga area,” Nyathi said without naming them. “The area where they were arrested is 255km along Bulawayo-Beitbridge Road, after the vehicle had run out of fuel. Investigations are still in progress.” Nyathi said they had received a report from the South African side that a hired car had gone missing. “We received a report that a white Hilux which belonged to a car rental company had been hired on December 3 and was supposed to be returned on December 4. The car was not returned and on December 5 a report was made to the Beitbridge Police that a vehicle was missing. “The five were caught when they tried to refuel the car after they had run out of fuel. Investigations are still ongoing.” In 2018, a 63-year-old South African national Willem Schalk Janzen-Root was jailed for seven years in Zimbabwe over vehicle smuggling charges. Janzen-Root was believed to be part of a vehicle trafficking syndicate which uses Zimbabwe as a transit route for luxury cars from South Africa for resale in other countries.

Colombia ranks among the top five nations with the greatest diversity of plant and animal species in the world; more different kinds of birds and amphibians make their home here than in any other place on the planet.
In the early 1990s, together with other movement leaders, she led a campaign that secured more than 5.9 million acres in territorial rights for Colombia’s black rural communities.
Multinational corporations moved in to exploit its natural riches such as gold and oil and to introduce foreign mono-crops like the African palm.
They also secured increased government restrictions to mitigate environmental and cultural damage along the coast.
She has spoken out against U.S. and European aid and investment in Colombian operations linked to violence and human rights violations in meetings with U.S. Congress people and advocacy groups, at talks at colleges through the U.S. and Canada, and in meetings held by global trade institutions such as the World Trade Organization.

The consequential meltdown in Venezuela has manifested itself in the fashion of a gradually unfolding theatrical production…first, brooding then street riots and official crackdowns, debilitating scarcities… and after all of these had changed nothing, a sustained outward procession by Venezuelans to all parts…to Colombia or Guyana or Trinidad and Tobago or Brazil…or wherever the ‘victims’ could find a haven from Trump’s response to Maduro’s ideological brazenness.
Over time, the turning of the screws on Vene-zuela under Maduro has been manifested chiefly in Washington’s sickeningly cumulative pressure, the kind of pressure that causes things to stand still and to atrophy; and it is to that sickening condition that Venezuela’s once colossal petroleum industry has been reduced.
If Trump is showing signs of impatience in Washington’s quest to send Maduro packing the question arises as to whether the US is prepared to push even harder and bring more of Venezuela’s friends, whom Washington would regard not just as unsavory, but unwelcome in its ‘backyard, rushing to Maduro’s rescue.
It doesn’t help, too, that the Bolsonaro government in Brazil appears to have decided that it will back Trump’s unrelenting push to unseat Maduro…so that the Brazilian government not only sent the entire Venezuelan diplomatic retinue in Brasilia packing earlier this year but also bowed to Trump’s wish that Brazil give notice to international shipping companies that once they do business with Venezuela’s oil industry their ships will not be welcome in that country’s waters.
Since the beginning of 2019 Washington and Caracas have shared no diplomatic relations though the Trump administration’s strategic think-tank are sufficiently shrewd not to have the US President cut ties entirely with oil-rich Venezuela, sustaining those through Washington’s links with Juan Guaido, the Leader of the Venezuelan opposition and the man who would be king.
