largely unexplored section of Southern Sudan is thriving with life[views:2637][posts:13]______________________________ [Dec 7,2009 12:41pm - Yeti ""] http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/12/06/sudan.national.parks/index.html this is great, its been virtually unexplored due to decades of conflict, but scientists have been able to explore recently. they've found that species they feared had been hunted to near extinction are thriving. funny how man is the "superior" being, yet in this country they cannot make life work, and nature is doing incredible things. |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 12:58pm - arktouros ""] Nyanyo, a Murle herdsman toting an AK-47 puts the conflict in stark terms, "I have a question for you: You say we must not kill the wildlife because otherwise they will be finished. Now I have to slaughter one of my cows. So in a few years I will have no cows. So you want me to kill all my cows and have nothing?" To protect the wildlife zones, fighters from the civil war are being turned into rangers tasked with protecting the land and stopping poachers. They are being set up in remote outposts with radio communication. Often, they are the only law-enforcement in the area for miles. But they are usually outmanned and outgunned, and for the people here -- among the poorest in the world -- protecting wildlife comes a distant second to survival. IRRIGATION MOTHER FUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT? |

IRRIGATION MOTHER FUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT? seriously, that's a pretty weak argument. you breed cows, you eat cows. "i don't want to do that, so instead i'm going to eat elephants". |

| _____________________________ [Dec 7,2009 1:28pm - Yeti ""] hiyo! |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 7,2009 1:44pm - sacreligion ""] Yes. They ended up that way by being exploited for their natural resources and then being labeled a 3rd world country by said exploiters. |
