Yes, please keep this in mind. Some people cannot "just leave." They are caring for elderly relatives, have child custody situations, jobs where communities depend on them, etc. It's not so simple.

Botswana shows how smarter cattle herding can save lions, reopen ancient wildlife pathways
The lions that roamed the plains of northern Botswana were dying. One by one, the big cats were succumbing to poisoned bait planted by exasperated villagers. The lions had been chipping away at theirโฆ
Reviving traditional herding in northern Botswana has sharply reduced cattle losses and retaliatory lion poisonings in the Okavango Delta.
Lion cub survival is rising, and the regionโs lion population has grown 50% in four years, with potential to reopen long-blocked wildlife corridors.

Cover art for Poison Ivy. It's a digital camera screen with an image of Ivy getting out of a car and Janet in front with her hands up blocking the photographer. There are bloody fingerprints on the camera.

Good Friday generation of Irish speakers votes overwhelmingly for Irish unity at Belfast event
The age gap was to the fore as young people voted by a large majority to work for Irish unity at this weekendโs Gaelic League Ard-fheis.
โI am here looking at what I want for the future of the Irish language and the Conradh and every morning I get up and I am working for the Irish language, everything we do for the Irish language is anti-colonial and decolonial work.โ
Good Friday generation of Irish...
