Sometimes climate change transforms people's lives in unexpected ways. Read this fascinating @aizenglobe piece on Kenya's Samburu boys sacred bond, and what it means to break with the brotherhood as a teenager faces a hotter, more arid future: npr.org/sections/goats…

Kenya's Samburu boys share a sacred bond. Why one teen broke with the brotherhood

After initiation rites – including circumcision – the boys leave their families to take charge of the herds, driving them high into the mountains. It's a way of life that climate change is testing.

A program in Botswana is trying a new way to protect wildlife – educating children. Check out this article by the talented @aizenglobe where she actually goes on a safari tour with school children to raise awareness for wildlife conservation. npr.org/sections/goats…

Elephants are a menace for these 6th graders. Then they went on a safari ...

Botswana has one of the last thriving elephant herds – and a history of human-elephant conflict that threatens both sides. A nonprofit has a program to shift that dynamic. Will it work?

Agree! The great @aizenglobe explains how to make 6th-graders in Botswana appreciate elephants and protect them for generations to come. Incredible storytelling, @NPR

People pay vast sums to see elephants in Botswana. But many who live there see them as a threat. This conservation group is taking 6th graders on a safari to try to change their minds. Listen to how it went here, in this powerful piece by @aizenglobe npr.org/sections/goats…

In my latest for NPR ... I joined an elephant safari in Botswana for kids from a village where elephants are ... a menace. (The region has one the last thriving herds of wild elephants. It's also the epicenter of a conflict that's threatening both sides.) npr.org/sections/goats…

You rarely hear Americans talk about the Global South's leadership in science and medicine. Researchers in Africa were the first to detect Omicron, and they're leading the race to detect new pathogens. Thank you @aizenglobe @NPR for telling this story. npr.org/2023/02/02/115…

Burying an easter egg in your syllabus where you offer your students an extra point if they email you a picture of a cute animal is a present to your future self. Mr. Quokka agrees.
