...Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), one of four institutions administering the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), won a five-year $107 million grant in February for relief work in Botswana, Nigeria and Tanzania...
...only hope for peace is an international protection force. But so far, only Nigeria, Tanzania and Rwanda have offered troops, and the proposed force of 4,000 won't deter attacks unless the soldiers are equipped and paid for by the major powers, are given a mandate to protect civilians and are eventually reinforced by 10,000 additional troops from other nations.

...relief. The industrialized world is finally waking up to what debt relief can do for the developing world. Thanks to lighter debt burdens, Burkina Faso has slashed the cost of AIDS drugs; Mozambique has vaccinated half a million children against easily preventable diseases and electrified rural schools and hospitals; Tanzania has built 32,000 new classrooms and hired 18,000 more teachers; and Uganda has filled schools like Kansiime's by abolishing tuition fees. But in Africa, such limited relief may not be enough. Despite $29 billion in write-offs so far, the countries in the hipc scheme still collectively...

What is an individual's life worth there? Local communities should be encouraged to earn money through sustainable tourism and agriculture. If citizens can support themselves by sharing their wilderness and wildlife with tourists, poaching will decrease. Killing for pleasure sends the wrong...
...Most countries operate on a quota system. They estimate the lion population and set a sustainable quota for hunting. A study published this year by wildlife experts at the University of Minnesota has raised new interest in trophy hunting. Based on 40 years of data from northern Tanzania, the study showed that if hunters confined themselves to shooting male lions at least 5 years old, after they have bred and their cubs have matured, there's no noticeable long-term effect on the overall population. Researchers attribute this to the fact that male lions, while necessary for reproduction, do little...
