| There are literally hundreds of national parks and wildlife areas in Africa that you can travel to. Here are the top four travel destinations in Africa: Tanzania-Serengeti NP During the annual migration, when the wildebeests and zebras pack_up and leave their living areas to find fresher ones, the Serengeti is an astonishing place to be. It"s a very good travel spot in Africa at other times of the year too but the migration has been ranked by many as one of the wonders of the natural world. Kenya-Masai Mara NP If you want to see the big cats, this wildlife park is the best of the best. Lion, leopard and cheetah abound and they are relatively easy to spot because of the grassland vegetation which means you get good views for miles around. Another big plus is the fact that going offroad is allowed and it is a big advantage because the animals will rarely oblige you and stay next to the major roads. South Africa-Kruger National Park For the variety of species no other place in Africa can come close to the Kruger Park. And because it is so large it has a number of different ecosystems that you can pass through in your search for animals and birds. It is one of the best managed parks in Africa and the accommodation is wellequipped, too. Zambia-South Luangwa National Park South Luangwa is a diamond in the rough, just waiting for enough exposure to bring it to its rightful place in the crown of prime Africa trips. It has been regarded as one of the best places in Africa to see the special leopard and it is the birthplace of the walking travel. | |||

| Nobody has ever succeeded in their attempt to stay young and live a very long life. 1 But is this really true? Dr Aubrey de Grey thinks that we can stop people getting old and that in about 20 years, people will be able to live to be 1,000 years old! 2 In Dr Grey"s opinion, getting old is a problem that can be solved. 3 If we can cure this disease, we can stop the aging process.We can also make people have young bodies again. Dr Grey believes that science will soon be able to stop the causes of aging so that a person"s body won"t get weak and won"t suffer from the typical diseases of old age. Dr Grey compares the human body to a house.As the house gets older, some things must be repaired.Broken hearts must be replaced.The same thing can happen with the human body, he thinks. We can use stem cell technology to grow new, healthy tissue to replace the old, damaged one.We can also try to remove diseasecausing molecules in our bodies._5_. 6 However, they admit that Dr Grey"s ideas have not yet been proved wrong.Dr Grey is convinced that his opinions are realistic and that his research is very important.If aging is a disease, he says, we must try to cure it.

| In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a mediumsized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser. "We"re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We"re just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted." Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and manufacturing a dog"s food takes about 0.84 hectares-or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd. Convincing flesheating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a nonstarter, the Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping "greener", smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits. The book"s playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully "recycled", by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans. Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet"s growing population and limited resources, Robert Vale said. "Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It"s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket," he said. "It"s about much more challenging and difficult issues," he added. "Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself." | |||
