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…

My latest: Traditionally Kenya's Samburu boys don't go to school. They're given charge of herding the cattle and spend years roaming on their own--relying only on each other. What happens when one boy decides to break with the brotherhood. #climatechange npr.org/sections/goats…

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…

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…

Fascinating look at elephants as entertainment vs. elephants as menace, and non-profit that's working to promote co-existence in a way that benefits everyone 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.
